Spoilers - removing them

[trinacriabob]

Folks:

Is it possible to remove the factory spoiler on a base MC or GP without making too much of a mess? Can it be done and then have the body shop where the car was delivered (no, not in a hospital) do a minor touch up on the paint?

Let me know. Maybe you're not big on spoilers either.

Thanks!

I know on the GTO you just have to unscrew it (not sure how exactly you do that though) and then there are some little plugs that you put in the holes. I think you probably have to do more than putting the plugs in (touching up the paint as you said), but it sounded like it wasn't that hard.

Most of the time when you remove spoilers, there are big holes than need to be plugged, and then the whole deck needs to be primed and painted. It's often easier to swap out the whole rear deck.

i put a spoiler onto my car when I got it and had to drill 6 holes in the trunk lid to put it on....so im sure you would have to plug the holes and then prime and paint the trunk. I don't know...i'm a spoiler guy....id say leave it on.
