I've got an 06 6MT and I want to swap the spoiler to the 03-05 style. No comments on what style everyone likes please, it's been beat to death.

Anyway, I've removed the three nuts that fasten the spoiler to the trunk lid, but there appears to be approximately four white plastic clips that hold it down as well. The clips are placed such that you can't really get to them to release them.

Has anyone successfully removed the OEM spoiler? How?

 

What color is your car? Are the mounting points the same for the two styles? I hope to be getting my 05 in a week or so if things work out, wanna trade spoilers? I'm working on a deal for an Athens Blue 05.

there are also 3m adhesive tape on it.. so it's impossible to take it off

 

lol my dealership tried to do if for me.. needless to say they messed it up and ended up giving me a new spoiler and trunk... so pretty much i had the swap done for 140... haha but ya its really hard to take off the adhesive

 

anyone think to contact 3M for something to release the tape?

 

3m makes an adhesive remover.

The car is a brand spankin' new Athens blue '06 6MT. I've got about 1,200 miles on the odometer.

 

^ are the trunks the same? May be an easier solution.

 

bummer, mine is lakeshore slate

i had my color titles wrong!

 

I just did the spioler swap. I had the dealership do it.It is
a straight swap. The problem is the glue. The Dealership pulled
some of the paint off when they removed the old spoiler. I was
without my car for a week. Just be careful. I am happy i did it. Good Luck

 

it only cost 140 to do the swap?

 

How much for the dealer to do it?
