Default New chin spoiler and rear spoiler

Looks like everyone was busy this weekend. I installed my CDC chin spoiler and GT500 spoiler from AM. I took a few pics along the way that may someday help someone out. Not a step by step, just commentary.

Started by taping off work area.

Removed fasteners and started at one end with razor knife. When I got to the first bolt I put a shim under it and started with the fishing line.

Here is what you'll have left when removed.

After some elbow grease, goo gone, and a little Ultimate Compound.

I never thought I'd be a "spoiler delete" fan, but I couldn't help admire how clean it makes the rear end.

Hard work is done, just line it up and bolt it up.

Look Great! Thanks for the pics & write up.
First time I saw pics that showed the factory rear spoiler has 2 lines of tape holding it on. Will have to remember that when I replace my factory rewar spiloer.,

Man, I have that spoiler coming from American Muscle. I'm scared to do the install myself and F something up. Guess I'll pay the dealership $120 for the install. :-(

If you're careful and take your time then there's really nothing to mess up. No hourly employee cares as much about my car as I do. I'm going to be meticulous and make sure it's done properly regardless of break time, quitting time, mad at the boss, mad at the wife, hangover, etc.
