Can I remove the lip and leave the bumper?

Is possible to remove the front carbon fiber lip without removing the bumper? and just keep the brackets where they so I can install the lip again at a later time.

Orange piece yes it bolts on but the carbon fiber part is double sided tape or whatever to the bumper and can damage the paint removing it.

Easy to remove the lip. I already replaced mine with an aftermarket one for everyday driving.

I know IND makes the lower lip but what about the whole carbon from spoiler. I would like to change that whole piece to plastic so I don't have to worry when I lower the car.

I think the lip is what tends to get whacked, I don’t know of any plastic spoiler replacement. Even if there was an option nothing fits like OEM does.
