First question, why do you want to remove it for?
SP greatly reduces the noise and since the owner even do the fender, even better..
Removing SP is one of the hardest things to do...
It also cost quite a fair bit to do so since your car has it, be happy la...it's only little heavy, not that bad la...

There's only one way of removing that i tried to last time, using a heat gun (those they use for solar film), heat the SP material until it's hot enough to peel off...but be careful, must wear gloves because SP material is made of bitumen which is oil...hot oil can burn your hand....though heating it makes it easier to remove...it is STILL a pain in the butt to remove...not worth the effort really.
