How Do I remove OEM plastic lip/spoiler? UPDATED ADDED PICS!
Hello,

I am going to be replacing my plastic OEM spoiler with a FRP RUF lip and want to mount it myself. Does anyone have a link to removing this plastic piece? Seems fairly simple, but I want to make sure I do it right, has not to damage any of the plastic clips. Or any tips would greatly help also!

Thanks my fellow 996 Turbo Engineers!

Thank you in advance and good luck. I have heard it is easy.

^^^^. He is correct. Grab a needle nose or similar and pull from the middle
first.

looks cool man. Congrats.

So was it really just 2 side screws and 1 clip up front in the middle? Or are there many little clips along the whole lip?

to remove it, undo the phillips head screw on both sides. Then start from one side and pull the spoiler tabs. They are plastic and just clip in. Put the new one in the same way.
