rear bumper question...

[CUINTHESNOW]

so i have some surface rust on my rear bumper and i want to give it a quick sand and a coat of primer and maybe a coat of something else to protect it before it gets to be a real problem... my question is, the rear bumper seems to be two piece, the plastic piece that sits on top and the metal part that is painted gray that forms the rest of the bumper... does anyone have any idea how to remove the plastic on top so i can paint the whole thing instead of just just painting from the plastic piece down? thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips...

Here's what they look like...

These are the two bumper pads from the 01 Sport... They just snap in. I couldn't get under the bumper at the moment, but I believe you would have to pinch each clip for it to release... not sure. Anywho, here are a couple of pics... I had to really press down for the clips to snap in, that left corner is a tuffy... Good luck!
