Smile How to remove 2004 TL OEM rear wing spoiler?! Help

Does anyone know how I can remove my OEM rear wing spoiler? Are there holes that I have to patch up? I'm looking to remove my spoiler and add a lip spoiler instead. Thanks for your help!

They're usually drilled on. Most recommend replacing the whole decklid. Try this thread.

Yes, there are holes - 2 per side. You can get at them if you take the trunk panel off.

See if anybody wants to trade locally or regionally. You might even start to find trunk lids in junkyards for 2004s.

If you guys want to trade truck lids, please IM each other. Or post a "Want to Trade" thread in the Black Market section.

Dude, easy to remove. Take out the inside liner panel of your trunk, take out the 4 bolts, 2 on each side. That will leave you with 4 holes, depending on your color you will most likely need to paint the whole trunk to make it look right. I have the same spoiler on mine, my color is WDP, and my body shop told me they would have to paint to whole trunk.

Instead of getting a new trunk, you can save a lot of money by plugging the holes with nylon inserts. Just file them down so they aren't noticable and paint them. You can save a lot of time and money that way.
