You basically shimmy it one side at a time, then push back. Simple.

I decided to go ahead and take the spoiler to a body shop. I made a boo boo when taking off the OEM spoiler and ended up making 3 dimples in the trunk. So Ill just let a professional do it right while painting my engine cover.

Im going to try the dry ice method to get rid of the dimples tomorrow. Its worth a shot.

I usually go to Perfections Paint and Body in Vero Beach. He has worked on all of my cars since I have lived in Florida. The only problem with him is he takes forever.

If I could find a good one in West Palm or Stuart is would be awesome.

Update 02/07/2012.1

Unfortunately not a good one folks.

Looks like UPS has lost my D2Forged wheels somewhere in KS. I swear these guys are a nightmare. This is the second lost shipment in 2 months, but this one will be a ***** to recover funds for.

As far as the Wald replica..... I did a little research, and I found that the replica I purchased doesn't fit like the Real one does. It does not reach the bottom of the trunk lid like the real deal does. So, if you guys are good with that, then by all means. Another thing I noticed (and its common with all of these Wald, and rep) is that the corners flare slightly upwards. You can use a heat gun to straighten it out, or use Epoxy. If your going the Epoxy rout, understand that this will be a permanent fix, and cannot be undone without causing damage to either the spoiler, or the trunk. At that point just save up, and mold the thing.

Anyway, there might be another update this afternoon. At least I hope.
