It has been a while since I did mine, but there are a few bolts inside the trunk and then I believe one on either side under the rear valance. Put a jack under it to support it, it is a lot heavier than it looks!

There are several nuts located in the trunk and two fasteners on the side outer end tips of the bumper that can be reached from under the car.

unbolt it ..

2 inside the boot 2 out side the boot underside and 2 clips at the far ends outside , get to the clips by bending/warping the ends of the bumper out ..

on one of my inside ones the nut was stuck to the stud and the stud undone , ok wit me..

had to peel back the carpet in the boot to see those .

undid the ones inside the boot last and eased it down solo pretty easy .. mounted solo too ..

as always pb blaster might will help the process
