The original bumper is bolted to the crossmember by 3 bolts on each side. There are 2 bolts that have fixed heads visible between the bumper and the crossmember. Access to the nut on the inside of the crossmember is impaired by the plastic endcaps on the original bumper. It's fairly easy to remove the endcaps.
Each endcap is held in place by 4 torx screws. There are 2 screws on top and 2 more on the bottom. I had to cut one of them off as it only came out a turn or two before it just started spinning in place.
