Default Front Lip Spoiler Clip Removal

I know the topic of removing the front lip spoiler has been discussed to death in these forums and others. However, none of them specifically explain how to remove the two clips that hold each end of the front spoiler in place. I'm in the middle of a GFX front lip spoiler install right now and I cannot for the life of me remove these clips. Can anyone with experience in this topic please shed some light for me? Are they actually supposed to be reused when putting the GFX spoiler on?

Nevermind. Did some more intensive searching and I found the answer.

EDIT: In case anyone else needed help with this particular task of removing the clips, here is the link to the solution on this forum:

Also, here are some pictures of how it came out:





Closer shot to show the minimal amount of gap. The trick is to put your fingers behind the bumper cover and actually push it out while holding the spoiler in place.

You could always go with the ugly white box version that sticks to your windshield. I think this looks way better.
