Hey Guys,
Long story short, I had a couple deep chips in my spoiler that went all the way through the paint on one corner. After a week of using touch up paint, wetsanding, and expanding the damage more and more, I ended up having to paint it. I painted it black initially to see what it would look like. Didn't like it so painted it body color which is Monterey bluce. Needed some spray touching up on the sides from poor prep work, so I decided to sand and spot paint today. Needless to say it became such a mess that I made a rash decision to just take it off. This is after messing with it all day today, and many other days throughout the last weeks. I read about the couple bolts holding the spoiler on, and even saw the diagram. I could not figure out how to access those bolts under the plastic covering of the hatch. I decided to take it off anyway and pray it was only taped on. Everything went well for a while using a heat gun and making small headway. I just went ahead and broke it off in frustration and now I am left with the pics below (I took them with my camera phone in the dark garage, sorry). It looks like I will just purchase the painted spoiler from carid for 200$. How do I access these bolts to remove them? I will be removing all bolts and clips and installing the spoiler with just double sided tape (how this spoiler should have been installed originally, that tape was crazy strong, no need for bolts and clips). I will probably end up replacing the wing in the future. Any help on how to clean all this up and remove the clips and bolts would be greatly appreciated. I am finished painting anything on my car ever again. Thank you |
