Default Rear Spoiler

Im thinking about taking my rear spoiler off. How hard is it to take it off and put it back on? Post some pics of your guys cars without the spoiler.

Its pretty tough to get the damn thing off and get all the tape off....then you have to fill the holes...not worth it IMO...the stock looks pretty good to me....then again i got a gt500 spoiler so what the hell am i talking about the stock being good....

Pop the trunk take out the four bolts,use some heat to loosen the double sided tape under the mounts
and gently pull off.Sorry no pics but you will have bolt holes showing.

It's a real pain because of the tape. I haven't had the holes filled yet but I bought some plugs that they use to fasten hood insulation under your hood, stuck those in the holes (needed 2 different sizes) and then used black silicone gasket stuff to seal it from inside the trunk. It holds up fine with no hints of any leaks, and looks WAY better than that ridiculous wing.

You can get the black plugs I am talking about for like $2 at any parts store.
