I suppose you mean the bumper cover.  It's all one piece,  and it will
come off, don;t count on being able to put it back on well unless you're
lucky.  Anyway, remove the bumper - 6 nuts in trunk, down by frame
rails.  Then the entire assembly will slide backwards off it's mounting
clips.  If you now want to remove the plastic, there are about 20 tabs
that stick thorugh into the metal bumper, squish them with a pliers and
they will pop out, but not very easily (have to get a fe win a row for
it start moving).  Pretty soon you will have the plastic cover off the
bumper.

If yous is damaged I'd recommend just getting another whole bumper
assembly used, should be about $100, paint it and put it on.

Unless you have some other, interesting reason you'd like to share with
us?
