Rear Spoiler Removal
 
I know there have been posts regarding the rear spoiler removal however, I do not see anyone who has actually attempted it. I really want all the other features of the sports package but dislike the look of the rear spoiler.

Has anyone successfully taken off the rear spoiler either by themselves or with professional assistance?

If so, how labor intensive was it ? How much touch up work was required and were there holes to fill up ?

You will have to go to a body shop and have the holes filled for the bolts that hold the spoiler to the trunk lid from the inside.

The rear center brake light also appears incorporated into the rear spoiler, no?

I stand corrected :). Impressive how well it all blends together when the spoiler is installed.

Exchange..............
 
If you are not in a hurry to spend a lot of money in the body shop, think about this. Try to find someone in your area that has a none sport 370 that is the same color as your car. Maybe they could be talked into exchanging hatch's? Saves everyone alot of money in the end. Now if you are in a hurry and can't wait for more cars to develop in your area, all bets are off.

I know it's not what you were asking, but I really like the spoiler for what it's worth.

If you look at the first diagram posted by SoCal you can see the way the spoiler curves on the left and right side near the center so it just "sits" over the 3rd light. It doesn't appear be attached to the spoiler.

It looks like it but it's not. The picture I posted was the US version car. Dare to take your spoiler apart to find out the truth? ;)
