I got mine from FVD.us but you can also probably get them from carnewal too.

I didn't even have screws in mine ... but once you have your out start at one end or the other next to the tire liner/wheel well and start progressively pulling at each tab ... I believe "out and down" to be correct since the "tab" on the spolier lip a wedge-like tip on it, wedge "down" which catches on the backside of the slot in the bumper into which it "slots" ...
hope that helps

No snaps or clips - just start at either end and pull straight out towards you - use both hands about 6" apart

Here you go got some scrapes on it but it takes a lot more than the original. I have the cup with ducts in my office may swap it. But they recomended this one for more downforce. I think it looks better also. With shipping cost around $170 local dealers can not sell.
Picked up some Mcguires plastic polish but have not tried it yet, just figure it's a consumable part and replace every few months. I almost went for painted when ordering the car can not see how anybody would do that.

I use my cup spoiler on both the street and track. My car is not lowered, but I scrape the spoiler routinely. It looks like it has been in the ring for 12 rounds with Mayweather, but it is quite flexible and can take the abuse. Plus, it is a disposable item and when it gets to a certain point, I'll just buy a new one.

Photos of the two chinspoilers, Cup vs. stock RS spoilers
kind of funny how easy it is to take of the chinspoilers once you know whats going on. i assume, based on everone's posts, that i can just leave those two screws/bolts off, the ones that afix the spoiler on the corner near the wheel wells? without those, its cake city.
the green car i had scuffed nicely the spoiler when i originally bot it and unloaded it from the hauler. that spoiler came off like butter baby, just simple as could be...bing bang boom and it was off, a breeze.
So i ordered a fwe of the Cup Car splitters. Like everyone has said, it is a far more "flexible" material. far more flexible and bendable than the stock RS splitter. i held each of them in my hand, balancing them on my finger right in the center. the RS didnt bend at all kept its rigid position. the Cup Spoiler nearly bent in half, sagging on both sides. thats good. more flexible material will gie when you strike something rather than staying stiff and getting hammered. the less hammering the better as that will also keep the energy from transmitting to the bumper where paint could get disturbed.
And the Cup spoiler went on CRAZY easy. the tabs i think are different they are far less pronounced, probably because Cup car track guys are snapping them off the cars when loading and unloading, and tearing through them.
And the Cup spoiler looks really nice. a bit beefier, lower to the ground, more flare to the outside edges, for more wind deflection, more aerodynamic.
And they are cheaper. Got a few from a place not too far away for $125.00 each, which was good since shipping can get costly quick. And i wanted to ensure 100% they were 100% compatible on my stock RS. They were. Awsome.

Post is back from the dead.
So what is the procedure for pulling the stock one off. My cup lip is coming from FVD this week.
The screws on the corners are out. However, do you pull up and out or down and out? Haven't attempted this yet.
