Help! How to remove front sport lip.

How in the world do u take off the front lip spoiler from the bumper? I wanted to paint the flat parts and underneath black to cover up some of my curb accidents. I got the damn paint but cant figure out how to get the damn thing off. Please help!

You need to remove the bumper off, there are bolts that you need to remove that's holding the lip onto the bumper,

Could it be accessed without removing bumper? Someone told me that there's tabs not bolts similar to bottom of the lip

i did this. take the bumper off it makes it loads easier. and then you'll be able to see it better. make sure that you like how the painted look looks. but after you get it off its pretty straight forward.

just did it to send lip out to rogue fit. it would have been easier if i had taking the bumper off. but we just jacked the car up on a lift and drilled out the rivets that were in there.

u werent supposed to drill those. there are 5 bolts that you have to take out for the inside and 2 screws on each side. it only takes 5 min to take off front bumper. those rivets hold the bracket onto the lip for the mounting. so u'll have to re rivet. i would recommend taking the bumper off to do it.
