Do consider fact that you may get that tail lamp failure warning light on your dash, since you're essentially losing a 3rd brake light...Unless that is of course you already have one on the inside.

Remove the trunk carpet panel and you'll see the 4 bolts that hold it on underneath that (2 on each side). Dont forget to unhook the spoiler light before ripping it off lol.

Just buy the inside 3rd brake light cover, i believe the wiring harness is there, so it'd be plug and play. At least that's what i think that plug it for.

Wow! I thought we all just had this discussion. Looks like there'll be a lot of spoilers for sale in the classifieds.
