Thats what I had to do when I took my OEM lip kit off.. Though it wasn't stuck on with two-sided tape.. It was this stickier stuff.. Not exactly sure of the name of it. But I just unscrewed and pulled slowly!

Then would you just use double sided tape to restick it later in the year?

when u pull off the pieces held on with the double sides tape, does it usually come off pretty easy or does it need a lot of force?
