Removing factory spoiler
Is this hard to do? Just getting it off there. I have a replacement spoiler to put on but the instructions say nothing about removing the one that's already there.

No, not hard at all. The adhesive is the worst part. There are four nuts under your decklid to remove. Once you remove those, get yourself some steel braided fishing line and basically "saw" thru the adhesive holding each side of the spoiler to the decklid. Also get some 3M Adhesive Remover, or something similiar, to use after you get it off in order to remove the excess (which there will be a lot of) adhesive

You can't just rock the spoiler front and back until it comes loose?
Will nylon fishing line work (20 lb. test)? I have some goo gone I can use to remove the rest once the spoiler is off.

Sure, give it a shot. I soaked mine and let it sit overnight, made it easier to remove.
