I know there are 2 screw on each end of the lip. There is no problem getting them out. But it is also hold at two other places, but there's no screw. That's where it bugs me. I don't want a break the lip, but i want to get it off.

I took mine off to run a dirt/gravel rally this past weekend.

1. Remove the two screws from the ends by the front tires.
2. Remove all the fasteners that hold the under panel in place to the front bumper (several of them, plus two screws.)
3. With the front under panel removed, there are three 10mm bolts that, from the inside, go through the lower bumper into the spoiler. Remove these. I used a ratcheting wrench with made things easier.
4. There are two more fasteners under the front of the spoiler (I don't remember if they need to be removed or not, but I did.)
5. There are two 10mm bolts that have to be removed from the inside of the front lower bumper. I used a 10mm socket with a 3" extension and a stubby-handle ratchet.
6. Once you have everything disconnected, just remove the lip.
7. Re-install the fasteners with the front under panel to hold it back in place. Don't forget the two screws that you removed.

This will leave two small holes in the bottom of the front bumper, which, after looking at it for a day, looks kinda sporty itself - LOL!!
