Hey all....the garage where i park backed up a bit too far and put some minor dings in my a-spec lower rear spoiler. Of course they are right in the middle so they stick out like a sore thumb especially on NBP paint. Anyway, they went ahead and gave me the cash to order a new one, which I did. Question is, how difficult is it to replace the old one for the new one? Is it something I should have dealer do?

Very easy. Just a couple bolts and clips. Shouldn't take you more than 20 min.

Was just looking at the instrux and they say i need to remove rear bumper? Do you think I can get away with not removing it since I already have the holes drilled out?

There is 4 screws that need undone and reinstalled along the center of the lip .. can't get to them with the bumper on. Least I couldn't see there being room to get any kind of screwdriver / mini ratchet back there.

So much for a 20 min job.... will get under the rear bumper this weekend and see if there is any room to work with.... Has anyone out there done this w/o removing the bumper?

Well tried but no room and I have a lot of tools including a mini ratchet set.

Hey I got my rear lip on without having to take off the bumper in the first place? What's the difference now? I figure if you can put something on without taking something off you can take it back off without having to taking anything off now.

Did you put the 4 screws in through the back of the bumper when you installed it? How did you drill the 4 holes that are marked in the back of the bumper?

Come to think of it I don't remember there being any screws in the back bumper. It's been about 4 years since I put the lip kit on. I guess me and my buddy must have had to put those 4 screws in also lOl... My mistake... That's what happens when you get free help from a buddy for a 6 pack of beer and a pack of smokes lOl... He worked at Nissan so we was able to use his bay after hours to put it up on a rack.
