Replacing front spolier lip 997 GT3

I just damaged the front lip on my 997 GT3 going up on my car lift. Ordered the part. How easy to replace? Looks like just two screws on either sides and snaps in the front. Do you have to use any kind of adhesive?

Thanks.

its very easy, i already replaced mine once. there are just two screws one on each end, and then the top edge of the spoiler clips into the bumper. I used a thin plastic squeegee and placed it between the lip and the bumper and that causes it to separate. Then you just pull down and towards you gently. Installation is the reverse.

Thanks!
So, no adhesive at all?

Do any of the clips need to replaced each time?

Bit of advice...

Do not use any extra measures to secure the front lip. Only use the clips provided to secure the new lip.

Basically, allow the lip to be an easily removable part to the front bumper. Putting extra adhesive may cause extra damages on impact with your car lift, driveways, etc. to the bumper.
