Taking off a front plate, wind deflector, & wing question
Hey guys, new to the board and of course i have a question...
I'm getting a used 03 TL Type-S on sat and it has a front license plate, sunroof wind deflector, and wing. My question is about the damage caused by possibly taking these items off the car.
1- The front license plate: I'm not sure why the guy even has it on there since we are in GA and don't require front plates here. Anyway, will i be able to take this off with minimal damage, holes, etc?
2- The sunroof wind deflector: Although i'm sure it's useful, i'd like the look of the car better with it off. Does anyone know how this deflector is attached and if it would come off w/out damage? It looks like it's attached with some sort of 3M two way tape.
3- The rear wing - I'm torn about this one, i like it, but i don't like it. Really clean 'smooth' cars catch my eye and i think i like the lip spoilers more than the wing. Would taking off the wing leave holes in the trunk lid. I'm thinking yes and there'd be no real way to take it off huh?
Thanks in advance for your help / comments and i look forward to posting some pics.

hey! welcome! although i cant assist you w/ ur second question, i konw that when removing the front license plate and holder, there might be some damage to the bumper which is minimal, but your dealer or whoever might have drilled holes into the bumper, which you might need to fill after the licenseplate removal. If you have the OEM wing, then yes there will be holes if you remove the spoiler, which you might have to go to a bodyshop to take care of. hope this helps

The deflector has screws which go under the internal lip of the sunroof. You ca take it off with no holes, just the paint issue with where it has been "attached" under the rubber seal.
