Default Gt500 spoiler installed and it's killing me not to drive

Ok guys, I'm looking for a few quick responses here. So I ordered my GT500 spoiler off ebay painted for $120 shipped. Paint looks good fit is good, etc. I put it on this morning and now it's such a nice day it's killing me not to drive it. It's stuck on really good, but would I be asking for trouble to take it out to wash and cruse around after just a few hours? I need some opinions b/c I will be leaving in an hour and I need someone to talk me into it or out of it, preferable option 1.

My answer would be this: Can you afford to replace/repaint/restore it if something where to happen? If you can, then I might take it out, otherwise, I'd probably just let it chill for a while.

You used the bolts in addition to the tape correct? You'll be fine.

Yeah 3m tape and 2 screw. I just know when I did my 1/4 window scoops they recommend 24 set time before you drive it or get it wet so I wasn't sure.

We put one on our daughter's car that I bought from the spoiler store and after about an hour she drove to work. It's still on and that was in Dec.

Well I just came back from the drive, I even took it through the car wash! The spoiler held up just fine and is sold as a rock. Thanks to everyone for the quick replies.
