Default CME valance removal and reinstallation ?'s

Can anybody give me an idea on whats needed if i plan on removing my valance and then reinstalling it, i know that they come off but what is needed to put them back on the second time? is this possible with new tap or something similiar? is it going to pull the paint off the bumper cover?
thanks!

*****, and muscel haha. very easy bro, just pull the 3 plastic pins out, then carefully start pulling the CME away from the car, The hardest part is getting the left over 3m tape off.

Dental floss helps to seperate the double sided tape without cracking the paint. Use of a heat gun may help as well!
When you get it off just remove all of the old tape from both pieces and use some 3M tape to reinstall.
Good luck!

one important note, make sure you use goo-be-gone to take off the leftover tape and not goof-off, I've heard goof-off takes off paint
