Does anyone know how to take the OEM spoiler off the ITR. I want to clean underneath. Is is just the four bolts holding it on or is it also attached somewhere else too?

 

May be a bit stickt under there due to dirt and all the other crap that has solidified then mushified in the rain then re-hardened under the wing. 4 Bolts and a gentle tug will do the trick.

 

There is a double sided foam type tape under it. You'll need to use floss or something to cut the tap in order to take the fin off. Use a sawing/back and forth action and it should slice though it no problem.

 

Is there adhesive tape under it or something...the damn thing wont come off, but I don't want to force it. Any ideas?

Yes - which is why there is no reason to remove it just for the purpose of "cleaning underneath it". The tape will have prevented any dirt from collecting between the wing and the hatch. Unless you're planning on keeping the wing off, I'd just leave it alone.

 

damn, that wasn't easy. finally got it off. the person that had the car before me f'd this thing up. the tape isn't even original -- hand cut. what idiots. i hate people that do that type of **** to cars, especially type r's. thanks for the help guys!

"It's just a car" -RJ

 

true, but **** like that is jerry rig bs....I believe cars should be treated with respect like everything else. When I put the wing back I will put everything back to OEM like it should be.

 

**** i dunno about you but I'd rather pay 50 cents for some foam tape for home depot then pay 30 bux for some oem tape. So what if it was hand cut, it did the job didn't it? You didn't even know it was hand cut untill you took it off. Yes some stuff should be replace and not rigged, but something like foam tape, anything should work.
