Drive along almost any Calfornia road at about 50 mph and a pothole will take the chin spoiler clean off.

ps. You did ask only for "removal" ...

I only read subject lines ... as you can infer from my "pothole" methods ... I'm not a "fine print" reader ...

take torex bolt out on @ end.
start at @ end & grab the bottom of the splitter, and tilt slightly upward and pull towards you.

when you re-install, I put a little lube on the tabs, and start in the middle, but don't push in all the way until you have the ends positioned.

the 1st time is the hardest, after that it becomes easy, both ways.

Yeah it makes me sad to see the spoilers painted to match the car, knowing the end is near.
