Default How to remove Countach rear Bumper?

Not the toasters, I'm trying to remove the one piece that goes across the whole back. (where the logo and words are and extends around the rear lights) I'm in the trunk looking at the other side and I see a number of small bolts. Do I just remove all of those and the piece will come off? Thanks!

Okay it appears I have done this right by removing the bolts. Now my question is:
Is there any play to adjust the piece up and down? My right side seems to low, either that or the left is too high. I just want to make it even. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

No adjustment Ray. You can either drill new holes for the mounting bolts or just ream one out a bit to give you the adjustment.

I have had mine off loads of times.

10 mins only job, which is rare for one of these cars !!

I'm just trying to straighten out the gap between that back piece and the body. I don't have a very good picture of it but here you can slightly see the gap getting wider as it goes to the right.

Hard to see there but it is much more obvious in person.

I need my bumpers, too many tourists not paying attention to where they are going in my area. My cars get bumped frequently. Countach hasn't been bumped yet but its only a matter of time.

While stopped at a light I watch the person in the car coming up behind me, and when they are about 20feet away I blip the throttle. The noise gets their attention (away from their cell phone no doubt) and they look up at the car and remember to brake. I hate to draw even more ATTENTION but it works and everybody else at the light seems to want to hear the car anyway. If they really are not paying attention and not slowing then before they get too close honk your horn.
