You have to pull the whole bumper off the car to get the skin off the bumper.

4 big bolts inside the trunk along with the smaller ones near the front corners of the bumper.

my front drivers fender really started to rust after this past winter..aot of bubbling out damage and spreading fast...i've seen other Camrys in NY with the entire section rusted away..i decided to do something before it was to late..follow along!!

i removed the inner plastic liner to see how bad it was spreading on the underside.

i sanded out all the rust damage...painted it with POR-15...built up the damage with Bondo.

..more fine sanding and a thin coat of red putty!
