Default Removing the stock spoiler

Hey guys, I am not a fan of my stock spoiler (the little lip one) any tips for removing it? And do they bolt it down or is it just stuck on?

If it was factory installed then you have bolts which means u will have holes if u remove it. my advice is keep it!

You can unbolt and remove with a microfiber towel.

Well you can always get a bigger spoiler like the Wald trunk spoiler. I like that one its like on the M3's and it covers any possible holes you may have.
