I would assume its somewhat similar to the camaro bumper in that its held in by a mass of push pop clips. There is a tool used to remove them and if its much like the camaro it should take roughly 20 minutes

If it is similar to a Camaro then remove all three of your tailights. there will be 4 black nuts holding the bumper on in the inside of your car. Maybe 5-6 plastic pins on the top and like 4 on the bottom. By your rear wheelwell on the outside at the upper inside edge there will be a phillips screw that needs to be removed and another 10 mil bolt on each side of the car. That is it. 10 minutes.

well I had a nice long tutorial written for you,clicked on submit and system ate it.
crank the headlights up manually about halfway to access the phillips head screw thats kinda hard to get to.
underside has 2 10 mm nuts on each side
remove the front ones and loosen the back
remove all pushpins and have a friend hold bumper up while you remove the last nuts(1 per side)
be careful of the studs that stick out as they will bite the paint job on fender
