GT Spoiler and Trunk Emblem
I tried to look back a few pages and see if this was asked yet and I hope it hasn't been. I have a 08 mustang v6 and I ordered the Mustang GT spoiler and Trunk Emblem from newtakeoff.com. Has anyone ever tried to replace them before? I have a little dumb looking spoiler on my car now that when i tried to take off has a big double-sided foam glue type strip in the middle and i was worried bout bending the trunk lid when trying to pry it off. Also about the trunk emblem, theres no way to get behind it. Do they make a special tool to slide in behind it to unclip them? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks!

After you get them both off your going to be left with a ton of tape film left on the paint. This can be removed with WD-40 or Goo Gone but it takes a lot and a lot of rubbing.

Since that V6 spoiler uses a lot of adhesive, you might want to invest in something like this as seems to be a great way to quickly remove the bulk of it, while not damaging the paint. I also used 3M adhesive remover after pulling off my GT spoiler as it really does a good job of breaking down the adhesive.
No matter what, that V6 spoiler will be a PITA... so take your time.

Personally, I would not put a GT emblem of any kind on a V6. It's like putting a Snake emblem on a GT when it is not.
Like they said above, be proud it's a Mustang V6 and not a Ricer.

Saw thru the 3M tape with braided kevlar fishing string.
Same goes for the Emblem. It has alignment pins only, no clips and
3M adhesive holding it on. I just pried mine off with my fingernails.
And pease no rebadging the vehicle unle4ss the equipment supports it.
It could confuse the next owner into paying too much for a V6.
