Default Removing a lip spoiler

I want to remove the lip spoiler from my 2014 Lexus 300es hybrid, and replace it with a new one. I took the trunk liner off, and unscrewed the two screws but it still won't come off. Any suggestions?

There may be 4 bolts and double stick tape. If no one else here knows how, try Google and YouTube

Thanks. I only see two bolts, but the double stick tape might definitely be holding it in place. I will check out YouTube

There are 2 bolts and double sided tape along the entire length. You can use fish line but only for a few inches on either side. We just used some silicone vinyl installation squeegee to carefully slip under the spoiler and lift up. It is easy to break the spoiler so you want to be very careful as you are lifting.
