You will need to remove some plastic trim rivets so that you can pull back the bumper fascia, but the fascia and rivets go back into place once the # 24819 trailer hitch is installed. It is not necessary to remove the bumper.

Take a look at the links to the installation instructions and an installation video to get a better idea of how the installation will go. The video shows a 5-door 2009 Toyota Yaris, but the installation will be the same on your 3-door model.
