Removing Rear Wing Spoiler
My 2005tl has a rear wing spoiler. I am leaning toward removing it. Without all the comments about likes and dislikes, is there a simple way to do this or I am stuck with repairing holes in the existing trunk or replacing the trunk altogether? Suggestions/thoughts appreciated.

GO DAWGS!! SICK'EM!!
did you had the drilled or used tapes to put this wing spoiler on?
If you use drill, it will be wise to replace the whole trunk if you remove the wing.
And it will be the same if you tried to patch the holes where you probably need to repaint too.
If I were you, I will leave the wing spoiler alone since I don't want to spend the $$ to repaint/replace the truck.

Just my , good luck and the spoiler dont look too bad.
