Removing boot-lid spoiler...

Post by GPXXX »

OK guys, as some of you might know i'm thinking of getting a carbon-fibre GT wing to replace my OEM boot spoiler... I've already got front winglets on order (to be installed onto my new front spoiler some time next week), so all that's left is a rear wing - GT style!

I think this job is easy enough for me to install myself, but my question is this: after undoing the 3 bolts underneath the spoiler (from the bootlid), are the dbl-sided tapes easy to peel-off or are they permanently glued onto the boot lid itself?? Will it leave any marks on the boot lid as well?? And what can i use to cover the exisiting mounting holes?

What do you guys think?

CHEERS!

it is easy to do urself.
if u dont want your sh*t to look cheap, then u will need to get the holes welded up.
the tape is nothing to take off, u will need some prepsol to remove all the leftover grime and sh*t left.
Can i ask u something? How old are u?

Thanks Foulz, but i don't wanna go through the trouble of repainting my bootlid... So they're only dbl-sided tape yeh?

BTW I'm in mid mid-20s mate... why do u ask?
