Removing Spoiler

Searched multiple times and couldnt find anything so here goes.
Tomorrow im removing that ugly spoiler from my car and wondering if there are any tips out to help me make this easier. I stole some adhesive remover from work and other suggestions. Use a heat gun? anything lol.

ahh i just did it an hour or so ago... pain in the ass kinda. Do yourself a favour and get a heat gun, not a hairdryer... takes too long...

1. Okay first your going to want to pop the trunk and remove the rear carpet cover piece off the trunk. Its just held in with Plastic pop screws. Once you get that off take a 10mm ratchet and buzz off the 4 bolts.

2. Now the fun part, heat up right underneath where the left ( or right ) whatever u start with wing piece sits on the trunk. Get it really hot and then u have to pull up on it until the MASSIVE amount of glue gunk holds on until you get it off. Then do the same to the other side. Should come off with some work.

3. Then you should have the wing off, and apply some GOO GONE to the remaining glue **** on the trunk and work it off... Then wax and buff until it looks good again.

Thats about it... Looks so much better .. u'll love it. Gotta still fill in the holes on mine somehow.
