Take off the four nuts and remove the wiring harness. If you don't care about the harness you can just cut it. But if you want to reuse it, then you just need to open up the panel on the hatch and unclip the harness.

what are you going to use for filling the holes after the wing is removed? or do you even have to fill those holes? Since I believe the water that goes through those holes would not go inside.

The bolts and probably some wicked goo helping it stick well and seal.
And water won't go into the car but flow out the spot where the top of the tail-lights are.

You might want to either fill in the holes or atleast seal the egdes on them so they don't rust if they are actually unpainted.

I had the plastic caps before the electrical tape. I think thats what he means by push pins. you can get them for the size of the hole, and they do fit nice. The reason i didnt like them is because the paint would chip alot and they bubbled up where as i wanted somethin flush. I think there in the bolts/screws/nail section

ok, I understand what you mean, but how did you get the electrical tape to look better? I can't imagine electrical tape looking good at all.....got any pics?

You could probably get those holes fiberglassed for under a $100 bucks and itd be painted to match. You wouldnt even know the car came with a spoiler.
