Attaching a wing without holes

Attaching a wing without holes
So I got my car for my birthday and before I move off to college my dad says he's going to sell it. I want to mod it a bit but the problem is I can't do anything that's permanent, such as drilling holes or any other irreversible body work. I'm already installing a cai but I wanted to add a wing. I've read about people using adhesive tape to attach it but the only problem I see is getting it back off Has anyone had any success with using this method, and just how difficult is it to get back off because I'm afraid it'll mess up my clear coat. Also, does anyone know how expensive it would be to buy an OEM trunk so I could take the one with holes off when I was done.

If its OEM, Why not just keep the OEM wing on it when it sells. Why take it off.

If knew my car was pending sale within a year or two...I would just keep it completely stock. Save up for a car you can mod properly and enjoy for a while. just my opinion.

You cannot attach the OEM wing with just double-sided tape. I can guarantee you it will end up embedded in someone's windshield the first time you head out on the highway......looking for adventure.....

I don't get it? Why would you want to take the OEM look spolier off if you sold it?
All CL's had this as a dealer option. In fact there are 4 indents on the under side of the trunk lid(2 each side) to drill the holes to mount it.
Spoiler or not make zero difference in trade in, or sale.

Haha I think I said it wrong but I wanted to add an aftermarket spoiler to my car. I heard that people were using this adhesive tape that was designed to attach wings to cars. And the trunk question was, I didn't know what it would cost to buy another trunk that I could drill holes it then replace later with a stock trunk, when I went to sell.

if you want to remove adhesives, heat it up with a heat gun, take off the spoiler, then remove the excess goop using goo gone. you might have to use some elbow grease, but you can definitely get it off.

oh and if your "aftermarket" wing doesnt look somewhat similar to the stock one...then dont even do it, if u come on here with some 10 foot ricer wing....it wont be good
