I just took off my wing today, pretty easy procedure, if you got the right tools.
Thought id make a How To.

Things you need.
1- 10mm Socket
2- Hair Drier Gun.
3- Goo gone. Or anything that takes out glue.
4- Patience!

YOu first have to start by taking out the cover so you can uncover the bolts.
They are popped on so you have to use a lil bit of force on the lil plastic bolts that are popped on there.
2- After that proceed to take out the bolts with the 10mm socket.
3- This is where the hardest part comes in. The wing has a lot of glue so it practically wont move when you take off the bolts. Now this is the part when you grab the hairdryer gun and heat up through the inside of the trunk on the part where the two bolts are, heat it up to the point where it almost burns to the touch,
4- Once this side is heated it should come right off, just move it around until you can pop it off, the glue should still be working but it will be mostly melted so it will be easy to take off.
5- Have a friend hold the side of the wing that has been taken off since you dont want it to glue back together.
6-Repeat procedure 3 and four to take off the other side of the wing.
7- Once the wing is off a lot of glue will be left on the trunk, make sure you wet it first before you use the googone to take it off. I wet a towel and put a lot of moisture around it just not soakin wet! After that this is where patience comes in, You have to take off all the glue off of the trunk with the goo gone. after you do this clean it good and some wax should help a lot after all the glue is removed.
8- To cover the holes I used back electrical tape and then on top of the elctrical tape I used normal tape to reinforced it, I used black electrical tape since my car is black.
After this enjoy you wingless cobalt and also the rearview from the rearview mirror!!!
YOu can now see wether that ford coutour behind you is actually a cop or not!
LOL,
If you have any questions just post them here.

 

hey man i got a question..CAN YOU POST PIX!! lol

ive seen that one on the other forum, but id like to see how yours looks

 

any way u ca post spme picks plz

 

**Step 9: If wing is Victory Red, immeadiately package and send to HackAbuse



**Important Step

 

lol, how about black?

 

Send it to me anyway, I'll sell it on e-bay

Naw, do whatever you will with it!

 

how does it look.. maybe a couple images?

could a body shop fill in the holes without having to repaint the trunk?

 

^^^^ Yes a body shop can fill in the holes. Just look below!

 

You will have to atleast do a touch up paint to cover the spots. The best finish would to have the whole thing repainted.

 

im not familiar with average repainting costs...

anyone have a guess what it would cost to repaint the trunk?

 

ps, 2k5ss/sc?

i love the look without the spoiler, thanks for the image!

 

or you can find a member on here to trade trunks with you lol that's what i did!!!!!!!

 

good idea. i actually saw one in the classifieds.

unfortunately, i am one of the unlucky ones who doesnt have his ss/sc yet. but college graduation and the 'real world' is looming and when i start my 'big boy job'.. its go time!

i cant wait. working my ass off for years for 10 year j-bodys is finally over.. hopefully

 

awesome , Exactly the thread i was looking for

 

what would you use to get it to hold like the glue did if you ever wanted to put it back on?

 

3m Sells alot of automotive strength double sided tape. A lot like what came on there.

 

haha i got a vic red and have been debating on de winging but not sure how it would look anyone with a victory red that has pics?

 

if for some reason you had to take the 3m doublke sided tape of would it take the clear coat or any paint off your car?

 

I don't think the tape is that strong to take off ur paint/clear coat unless it's chipped or somethings wrong
