How to remove front spoiler?

I want to take my front spoiler off and replace it with a new one. I removed the torx bolts on both sides; I tried to pull straight out, in an angle, etc. I just can't get it to come out where the bolts are located. Any ideas, I need you help, stumped!!!!!!!!!!!! any ideas or special techniques.

I'm mechanically inclined as I did install my IPD plenum...........

It's "popped" in there with teeth so to speak so you have to start from one corner and pull... Get it raised up some and peek underneath and you'll see what I mean. Don't start from the middle

Don't be afraid to pop it loose. It feels like you are going to rip something but no fear as it takes a little yank to get it to come loose. Start on one end and work your way to the other side. Put your thumb just above the spoiler and your fingers on the spoiler and use the leverage to seperate them.
