996 GT3 lip spoiler removal

How hard is it to remove the front lip spoiler?

Thanks.

Not hard at all. There are a series of "1-time-use" hardened plastic screw/clips underneath that hold it on and a metal screw at each end.

Thanks, any problem prying them loose? Need a screwdriver or anything special? Can it be done without elevating the front end?

Thanks.

Philips screwdriver and a split claw flat prying tool (looks like a flathead screwdriver with a little crescent shape missing right in the middle of the blade) to pull the clips out.

Dunno if you can do it on the ground. Depends on your suspension settings, but I would suggest jacking the front end to make it possible to look at what you're doing.
