I've got the wing type spoiler that I'm trying to remove and repaint. Looked inside trunk, didn't immediately see any attachment method like bolts or screws. How TF did they put this thing on here?! Want it off so I can thoroughly prep and repaint, but not seeing any attachment points.

Pop the trunk liner off and there should be 1-2 bolts per side on the underside of the lid.

I see nothing.

What spoiler is it?

WDPanda

Must be taped on with just 3M. The 2 bolts on my aspec was 3M and bolted.

MisterABdub

If so, that's some bad ass tape!

Give it a good tug!

MisterABdub

I don't know if I'm courageous enough to start pulling on it. It sounds sketchy. Which way? Up, or back?

just grab it and pull towards the back of the car. Could also run some fishing line under each mount to separate the tape. Try heating it up a little to get it pliable. Don't burn the paint tho!

there are two bolts per side, plus 3M tape. If you've only taken out 2 total you have 2 more. You will have to plug those holes and have the trunk painted by a shop because there is no spoiler that will cover that else you'll exposed to the elements. How many have you removed altogether?

MisterABdub

I see no evidence of any type of bolt, unless in the one pic, there is a Allen key inside the only hole I see.

MisterABdub

The fishing line isn't a bad idea, plus, it will give me an idea where any mechanical fasteners might be.

This is what i found at acuraparts.com , It might help letting you know their is 2 fasteners on each side.

thanks for that! I'm going there because they usually have a description along with the images.
