Ouch! Well... it could have been A LOT worse. And you're okay and that's all that should matter. Are you going to pay for the repairs yourself?

Sorry to hear about your car. Hope you're alright. I just replaced 2 of my tires today, they were sickly bald.

the spoiler just has a couple of bolts holding it on. open the trunk like and unscrew the bolts. i think all you have to do for the front bumper is find the few bolts that hold it on and take em off. should be real easy

Ok for the wing thats easy.

As said pop the trunk...use your fingers and eyes to align where the wing attaches UNDER the trunklid....feel for it and you will have probably 2 bolts on each side of the wing. Get a rachet and extension and take those off and usually the wings have 3M taping to hold them a bit more so you may have to wiggle and be careful not to pull too hard and rip more pieces and paint off.

For the front bumper its not that hard. You pop the hood, you will see 2 push in christmas tree fasteners near the pony....pop those out. After that you will have to turn your tires out of the way of the side you will start on (passenger or driver). Say you are starting on the drivers side...turn the tires to the very left. Unscrew the bolt or so holding the fender shroud (the black cover inside the fender) and move it out of the way. Then you will be able to reach behind the bumper right under the fender where the corner lights go. There is a bracket there with TWO screws and bolts holding it up. YOu will have to take 2 bolts off of each side. Then you can just pull it off the sides and it will start to fall. Under the car you may have about 2-6 xmas tree fasteners as well...crawl under and find out..but some are older and don't bc they fell off or whatnot. After you have done that you should be set, nothing else holding it up!
