    What size Torx socket to remove plastic bumper ?

    Well the title says it all... does anyone know the answer ?

    Cause I really need to get the front bumper off, does the rear bumper come off the same way, and use the same size socket ?

    Just take the bumpers off as a whole. In the front loosten the large allens from the underside and slide the bumper off.

    In the rear just unbolt the bumper shocks and slide the bumper off

            Yeah, tried using allens and almost rounded off the insides of the bolts. Definitely wouldn't try these without a Torx.
