Most likely it has some 3m double sided tape holding it and you're going to need to pull. Why are you removing it anyways? New lip kit?

Go underneath the car and make sure you got every bolt out.

Colan remember I told you earlier that for x-package you'll have holes in the bumper for those clips to hold the lip. Most of us with non-x package remove those clips and not drill any holes when we installed the front lip. Anyway, you got your CF lip on now?

LOL. They obviously screwed up the install at port for the GFX lip. There shouldn't be two holes.

Looks good Colan. Ricky is right, the overlays make your lows look like 8000k.
