The steps to remove your rear bumper are detailed in step two of the installation instructions that I have attached for you.
First, you will temporarily remove plastic panel on inside edge of tire well by removing two screws and pulling out retaining clips. Under this panel there are three bumper retaining nuts recessed in the rear panel. Note: mounted to the inside surface of the bumper fascia are cellular telephone antennas on both left and right sides.
Next, carefully slide antennas out of mounting brackets and remove wires from bumper assembly and temporarily place antennas in trunk.
Then remove the nuts attaching the bumper and carefully slide bumper assembly rearward, removing antennas as noted above.
