If it wasnt too bad why would they need to take the BUMPER cover off? That seems pretty extreme for a minor bump to the rear.

great question and very good point there,,,,,,, not sure why unless they wanted to paint it separate or had to fix behind it maybe? but that's a really good question,,,,,,,,,,,,,, paul

The very same reason they said "the rear was a pain to remove" weird

Where is the pic with the rear fender off? They could have painted the rear bumper cover really easy on the car as well...
