Default Can Anyone Dremel the screws from my oem spoiler?

Hey guys,

So I bought an oem spoiler from Doug (ddquash) almost 4 months ago, and i really dont want to drill holes in my trunk. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to let me borrow their dremel or shave of 3 screws from me. So i can finally put the spoiler on my car. The only reason that im posting this up is because I have already asked all my friends, and no one happens to have a dremel. I live around Pasadena/Glendale area.

if you help me, ill buy you a drink! but since im underage you wont be getting any alcoholic beverage. lol

is it really safe to just slap it on with 3m double sided tape? i was considering this as well but someone told me to go to musicbox and have tommy do it.. since it's an OEM spoiler i might as well drill right..?

also, if you "hulk" it.. and if you ever decide to go the drilling route can you put it back on?

Nope, there's no point in drilling. The 3M tape holds on fine. That's the way a lot of manufacturers attach their trunk lids as well including Mercedes-Benz

Im at home, what time are you gonna roll by? Hahah, anyways thanks for offering your help, but my brother manage to pluck the screws off. it took him a while but it worked.
Btw- Thanks for making me look so bad when we ran the eighth mile. I came to the conclusion that my 250 is somewhat slow compared to your F.

it's okay. joe z frequents the irwindale 1/8 mile so often, it's a "home track advantage" for him. /OT

LoL Jason!!! I have only ran the F there once recently..
I got 2 passes with it, since it was/is so crowded on Thursday nites..

I actually haven't gone real drag racing since last year with the IS350 on the 1/4 mile in Fontana..
