so i took my spoiler to Wilburn to have it painted....looks good, i had them put it on but im not 100% satisfied with it....whats the best way to remove the spoiler so i can put it on?

aw1

is it screwed on or taped on? if screwed on, remove bolts then use dental floss to remove the double sided taped. if only taped on, use only dental floss to remove double sided tape.

yes, its taped on only...the hard part is going to be removing the tape from both the trunk and spoiler....it was installed yesterday so it may not be 'set' yet....i hope. whats the best method to removing the residue (Goo Gone isnt THAT great)

aw1

well goo gone isnt that great, but i did use it to get the large peices of residue off and then i used rubbing compound by turtle wax to remove the finer outline when i debadged, gave it a wax afterwards and its like the glue was never even there.


(floss helps ALOT!)

oh yea, i forgot to mention that you can use the end of a credit card to get the really thick glue off if your floss didnt help, just keep the gunk saturated witht he goo gone and DONT FORGET TO WAX

hmm would fishing line work also?

Fish line wotks great ... stay away from the credit card unless you want scratches ... WD-40 will also help dissolve the remaining glue/foam.

i was able to pull it off with a little force (i think they used poster strength tape). now, i need a template and some kick ass two sided tape and MAYBE a sealant, what do you guys thing/suggest?

I would offer you the template, but it wouldn't help. It is for a OEM 07-08 spoiler. The OEM had 2 bolts.

ahh thanks for the response!
