I finally caved and spent the money on the OEM CF spoiler. Now I just need to get some tape and the time and motivation to swap it out.

Holy crap. I got the old spoiler off using the twine stuff. Easy enough, but OMG its going to take me FOREVER to get all of the gunk from the previous tape off. I'd considered taking it to the dealer to let them do it for ease of use and I'm kinda wishing I had.

Well, this is OEM to OEM, so maybe that's a separate thread as opposed to aftermarket back to OEM. STATUS UPDATE: 50%. FUN UPDATE: It's very un-fun. STATUS UPDATE #2. 100% FUN UPDATE #2: It was never fun, but did get easier as I developed a bit of technique.

I have some Goo Gone that seemed to work well enough once I developed a technique with it.

I hate this DIY LOLOL ... I had the boys at RW carbon remove the gunk in less than 10 min with some weird compound and light machine. Nothing I would have personally of course (parts).

They are SME's for sure in removal and install because my RW spoiler is perfectly mounted left and right gap wise and zero lifting. I would be very scared at the dealer level... spoilers are generally not installed as a DIO but PIO and they might burn the paint. Also do you have ceramic coating? Thats a big deal as I would guess the dealer would over buff outside the lines and remove the coating.

But yea, without that 3M adhesive removal tool, it can take forever. Even with that tool, you have to have a steady hand. My friend borrowed it and ended up dented the trunk since he let the tool bounce around on top of the trunk. Yet, people said it is too much to charge 2 hours labor for it. Recently got 2 guys that said they will do it themselves after I quoted them 2 hours of labor.

And now you treat your prized possession like this>>> Brushes LOLOLOl Coating can last based on the product you choose and the type of washes you do to your car. I always pay the extra to have a guy come to my house or hand wash it... its money well spent for sure and especially with your paint.
