How hard is it to remove front spoiler?

Has anyone done this? I've heard it is attached with plastic rivets so not sure how to go about this one...

The rivets have to be drilled out ... carefully.

You can remove the whole fascia with the lip attached. To remove the lip itself from the fascia you must drill the rivets, that is the only way to remove rivets.
