Default stock rear lip

I'm painting my lips and skirts and I can't figure out how to get the rear lip off. Any body have a DIY that shows how to get it off? To me, it seems impossible. But I'm sure there has to be a way. I'm probably just too stupid to figure it out.

not the whole bumper, just the black lip that's underneath it. It's stock, so no, not aftermarket.

ok, there are a few screwa at the bottom almost like anchors prob about 12-15 there almost like anchors with the screw they should be able to be taken off with a socket,theres a screw and a clip that the screw goes thru that has a thread on the oposite side. just lay down on ur back and find a socket that fits them,what does it say in ur guide?

yeah but the screw that goes through them is up and under, like there's no room to fit anything up there and you can't just unscrew the "clips" that the screws are in.
