03 to 06 spoiler swap...HELP!

i have to imagine someone has done this as a DIY, because it doesnt look hard, however as i got started i noticed there are some small circular white snap clips holding the spoiler on. how do i get these off to get the wing off. im only able to get ahold of one, while the others i can barely see through a small hole.

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks, mike

The spoiler is bolted on, if u take off the trunk lining u can see all the screws. Im not sure if all the bolts are in same spot for both years...u might wanna think about a trunk swap.

bolts are easy, it is the 3M tape that is hard to get off

use a heat gun for the tape... i'll come off easy. if you dont have a heat gun, a hairdrier will do just fine

the bolts dont line up...it appears the bolts are in the wing rather than the trunk itself. also its not just the 3m tape holding it on, there are a bunch of round plastic snaps holding it on and some of which i can not reach and even see. solutions????

Dude.. the only way to cleanly swap spoilers is to do a complete trunk swap. the bolts for the spoilers do not match up. so you'd have to drill the proper holes for just a spoiler swap. sorry i didnt see this earlier
