How to un-install front oem lip ?

So i'm having trouble figuring out how to pop out the front oem lip. So far I have found 2 screws on each side of the fender ... I saw some brackets in the middle part of the front lip but I cant figure out how to unscrew them... Help please

Howd I know my name would be mentioned. Anyways the easiest way is to remove the front bumper which is only a extra 5 minute step. After removing the bumper there are i believe 5 bolts that need to be removed (besides the 2 screws on the inner bumper)

thats it.

Is there anyway of doing it without removing the whole bumper...I'm not much of a handy man....The less I remove the less I screw things up lol...thanks

yes, but is more of a PITA to do it that way. the only extra thing you would need to do to remove the bumper is the 2 screws that hold the bumper and 4 pop clips.

Yes those are them.

so in total what you have is:

the 2 screws on the bumper
8 pop clips underneath the bumper
and 4 pop clips on top.

Pop clips are easy to remove, basically all you need is a flathead screwdriver.
