Its not hard to do ,but you will have holes left over and it may have a ring where the spoiler was sitting on top of the trunk lid.

dont take it off. Its not like its overly ricey or anything. The cars look alot better with them and im not sure about your preferences but i think in time your gunna want it back on.

you might not have a ring yet cause you're car's not that old, but you will have the holes. You can just have the trunk filled and painted, it costs $ but it'll look nice.

Idk...I saw another white mustang w/o the wing and it looked really good cuz his exhaust tips stuck out about 1 1/2-2 inch like mine do...I think it makes it looke cleaner/meaner...just my opinion tho...I dont want holes in my trunk tho

Mine had about 3000 miles on it when I took if to see what it would look like. There were rings. I plugged the holes with 5/16" & 3/8" plugs from Lowe's. Drove it that way for a few days fell and in love with the look. I've already talked to my paint/body friend, and will be done with the spoiler and blue oval in the next few weeks hopefully... These days most cars and even some trucks have a spoiler... I like being different.
