could try heat gun and wax and grease remover? just a guess though since i dont know what the lip is really stuck on with, i know when i had to get sikaflex off of my car I had to cut it off with a knife and then heat it till it was malleable enough for me to rub it into small ***** when i rubbed hard..

Heat gun and wood spacers is how my paint guy was going to remove mine... heat and pry it up a little then wedge the spacers and move all the way down. But i would thank that the heating and pulling might warp it... let us know how you do it. I'm thinking about just having him sand blast the lip and bumper and then repainting as one piece, because getting the lip off is not easy.
