- remove two screws on the inside to tear apart rear plastic panel pieces ...
- remove nuts holding spoiler in....
- yank that SOB off...
- cry at your naked hatch with ugly holes.

Took mine off a while ago.

Go to TRDSPARKS.COM and look at the install template.
It will show you what panels in your trunk to pop-off to access
the holes needed to unbolt the bolts.

After those are off, you're gonna spend A LOT of time trying
to pry it off because of the super duper ownage tape holding
it in place. What I did was get a hair dryer and lift up as hard
as I could while blow drying it. This let the hot air go directly
into the adhesive causing it to be pliable again. It's still going
to be tough though. What I did was grab a knife, lift up the
spoiler as high as I could, and slice away at the adhesive
loosening up section by section.

Try your hardest not to put pressure on the spoiler going
downwards. There are going to be "indents/dents" in your
trunk on top where it used to sit because that part of
the car has no support under the metal.

And you're going to have 4 holes, not 2.
2 for each side.

Lip spoiler will likely not cover the holes. You'd have to have a body shop fill them and paint it.
