Default HOW-TO Install 4IG's Amuse Lip?

According to the instructions, the best way to do it is to mount it first, and then remove the double sided tape. My question is how do you remove the tape once it's mounted?!

All the other stuff looks easy, but I will be taking pictures and hopefully documenting the work carefully

mount it,
make sure it fits correctly,
mark the top w/ grease pencil,
pull the lip off a bit,
pull of the edge of the adhesive (enough to pull on later)
push the lip back onto the bumper (w/ the backing of the adhesive sticking out)
as long as the lip is lined up correctly,
just pull on the adhesive backing and push down on the lip as you go.

yeah.. it's just a b!tch without pre-drilled holes, but i understand that it's hard to get precise holes for each car with the variation of each bumper. i worked out a method where i'm gonna mount the spacers first, and use masking tape and a thin layer of play-doh on the inside of the bumper, get the fit right and press it up against the play-doh , impriting the places where i'm gonna drill. i'll drill a 8mm hole, and using some huge flat headed washers for a better hold, it should allow for some error in the drilling.
