I bought my Type-S with the A-Spec kit, and I'm planning to remove the front bumper for the first time. For those who have done this, do I need to remove the front A-Spec lip first in order to remove the bumper, or will it all come off in one piece?

it will come off in one piece

You will have to remove the bitch clips from the wheel well, one of which sits in the middle of a metal bracket for the lip toward the bottom.

^ Yep. I hate that thing! Make sure you have a short screwdriver handy or you'll have to remove the wheel or turn it from one side to the other to get to it.

Thanks guys, that's very helpful. I did notice the retainer clips in the wheel well were partially covered by the A-spec lip, which is what made me question it. What about underneath? Does the A-spec lip conceal any screws under there?

They are different---the lip adds a few clips that look like all the others, but you don't need to remove them.
Funny that I had my bumper off last weekend, yet cant remember exactly what I had to remove!
IIRC, there are 2 bolts on both sides of the airdam, 2 clips on the front underneath, and 1 or 2 on either side, plus the bolts and the screws in the top of the wheel well. Plus the aforementioned clips in the wheel well---2 each. All of these are in plain view.
