Lip spoiler

Hi guys, does anyone know how to remove a lip spoiler? And is it screwed into the boot lid? I want to remove mine to fit the larger own spoiler but I'm not sure how it comes off or if it will damage the paint

Likely 3M double sided tape....

Check on the inside of the trunk lid for screws/bolts...if not a piece of heavy mono-filament fishing line will work well

if it's the black "stock" air dam it clips on the bottom and snaps in and out.

If it's the appearance package front air damn, it's screwed into the front bumper by a couple ofr brackets and also double sided tape above the brackets to be flush.
