I been searching the forums I know there's one for the hatch but for the life of me cant figure it out I took off the four bolts in the trunk but won't budge? Any input? Any more bolts? I have a coupe.....

its more than 4 borheim

IIRC its like 4 on the bottem, 4 on the top, and 3 on each side
And you HAVE to take off the tails to get the rear bumper off

I think your bluffing on the search, this was covered in the small questions thread like two days ago

Edit

Does the s14 and s14 Bumper have major differences? I think for the most part the screws would be the same

Look at a FSM and it will answer your question.

Search is the second method to find a basic question like "how to remove a bumper."

3 on each side of the quarter panel, the 4 main bolts that hold the actual bumper, and 2 to 4 bolts under the taillights.

Why are you working on a car without a FSM anyways...
