Does anybody have a shop manual they can scan that shows all
the screws and clips that hold the rear bumper cover on?
It looks pretty straight-forward and I've taken the front clip off a Toyota Celica before, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks!

Nevermind. Got the old one off and the new one on.

Why did you replace your rear bumper?

I backed out of my garage and right into a friend's car in my driveway.
I just happened to find a used one of the same color for $50+$75 2 day shipping on ebay.

Oops! How did his car fare?

Great deal though. Lucky

I bet it wasn't too hard to remove, knowing Mazda.

I had to shell out $1100 to get the other car fixed. It needed a new hood, front quarter panel and headlight. The bumper was buffed out and the other parts were used or aftermarket. My CX-9 just had the black part of the bumper cracked.

The bumper was pretty easy to get on and off although there were a couple nuts on each side that were sort of hidden up underneath.

Sounds like a GM product
