Default How do i remove my Rear lip (5th gen)

i did a search and can't find how to remove the rear stock lip from my 5th gen accord. i'm getting them painted and need to remove them to prep them, so the shop just has to paint them

please help

ps, don't tell me to leave it on the car, i need to remove them so they dont have to mask it off. i'm trying to keep the costs down.

its very easy.. just look under the car, and you can see all the bolts that need to be undone.. i did it without asking, and i had it off in 15 mins. But i hear its a lot easier to take the bumper off.... which i have never done. Doing it with the bumper on is hard because u have to work in a 1/2 inch area across the car, and undo the bolts with the 2 fingers u can fit in that small area, as well with needle nose pliers.

i thought there might be an easyer way, cuz all the access point to the bolts are on TOP of the lip (hard to get to)

but i guess thats what i gotta do. thanks
