what cant you figure out? there are some plastic push tabs to pand bottom that need to be removed. Along with 2 10 mm bolts on the bottom (one on each side) and 1 screw in each wheel well where the bumber meets the fender

haha i posted it. ran down and tried it and got it off. not much holding the bumper on. wow.

oh and on the top side of the bumper are two more screws i cant put back in.

replacing the bumper is actually 2wice as hard as gettin it off.

Why is your fender liner hanging there from removing your bumper?

I cant tell from that pic what that is in the fender liner, but it shouldnt be there. There should be a place to screw the bumper to the fender on the fender. the bumper cover should fit and have 1 screw to to that. The fender liner should fit behind the bumper and attach to the fender with the black pushtabs
