step 1: there are 4 clips under the car, 2 behind, 1 on the left, 1 on the right (use a flathead screwdriver to pry it out)
step 2: 2 screws on the inner fender (look behind the tire) 1 on the left, 1 on the right
step 3: 2 screws inside the trunk (along the line of the plastic where the trunk locks)

once these are all out, in the area of step two, you'll have to use a bit of force to pull the bumper out, dont force anything but apply a good amount of force to pull it off...there are 10 clips total all around the car but when you get the first 3-4 out, the whole side of the bumper will come off...

its kind of hard to do it by reading these instructions but if you still cant take it off, pm me or getting the pdf from ^ is good too

That's exactly what i did. removed the bumper, took less than ~5 mins once you locate the screws, then I just kicked out the dent, and used touch up paint.
