It's painful to take off. Not worth it if you ask me unless you're dying for a different spoiler.
That 3 M stuff is a pain and, you never get them back on correctly.

I took mine off some time back with no problems...but i didn't know about the fishing like i just used a knife and ran it under the stock wing and the 3m tape that was stuck to the trunk lid i used a drill with an eraser attachment doesn't harm the clear or the paint...tip i got from my friend that works in a body shop...then cleaned with alcohol and then attached the wing and still on there

Do you have any pictures of this "eraser attachment" or can you tell us a brand name of it or where to get one?
I am doing the spoiler removal too and this sounds like it would be easy.

Thanks

Removed my stock wing yesterday and plan on leaving it wingless ( I prefer that look). The adhesive under the wing is a b#@! to remove. Used fishing line goo gone and a lot of patience.
