The Service Manual calls it the Bumper Skirt. If you do not have the manual, and cannot get it from this website, then somehow get a copy of pages 20-49 and 20-50, to see what is involved. You have to fold back a floor trim panel, remove fender liners, under covers, 10 nuts, and the bumper assembly. Apparently, you cannot just remove the Skirt itself until the whole assembly is out, but I have never personally done it. The book says to get help lifting the assembly, and don't forget to disconnect the license plate light connector.
Happy painting,

I used Coppolino's Collision, Inc. 129-10 14th Ave. College Point, NY 11356 718-353-1800. License #:R#7040652. Near the Whitestone Bridge/Use 20th Ave. exit on Whitestone Expressway/Take service road to 14th. I can't tell you how much it cost, because I had ground effects, a new spoiler, and other mods installed as well. I'd post a picture but administration won't approve me. Looks like this car in red, with a 2002 rear center lens with the chrome logo: http://www.geocities.com/mcantoria/pictures/93sb-rear.jpg

The valence is very hard to remove with the rear bumper still attached. I've heard a couple people claim they can do it, however, most need to remove the rear bumper assy to get to the hidden bolts.
I had my car painted in the back while the bumper was off, and I was very happy with it while I still had it on the car (it has since been changed to the TAITEC rear diffuser).
