Default Front spoiler removal question

I have limited time today to work on my front fender repair. I have to daily drive my 928 for the next two weeks (family member needs to borrow my DD).
Anyone know how long it takes to remove the front spoiler, I have only 1.5 hours after work till I have to pick-up my son from school. I don't want to start removing it and not finish, any tips on the removal? I did a search and could find much info.

Thanks.

It would be close. IIRC, you need to remove the fender liners to get at a couple of screws. But if I'm wrong, it should just be a matter of removing all the screws and sliding it off, in which case you can probably get it off in 10 minutes.

Yep, fender liners need to be removed, which means tires need to be removed. 90 minutes should be doable, but might be a bit close if you run into a snag.

Watch out for wacky re-installation(s) someone may have done on it in the past. When I took mine off, I had quite a bit of extra work to replace missing fasteners and straighten everything out.

There's a pic about the spoiler in a writeup I did here:

Basically, once you get all the screws out, it pulls straight towards the front of the car off some big tabs that hold it on/in.

I hate those buried behind front fender liner screws.

Didn't have Rennlist help and finding out about those hidden screws sucked.
