how do i remove my spoiler? do i just cut the wires that are for the brake light or is there something else to do with em? i plan on getting the holes filled at some body shop

 

you do know if you remove your spoiler you will need to get a 3rd brake light from somewhere.

 

dont cut the wires, just unplug them.

 

if i unplug em will i get a check brake light on my dash

 

nope. i did it and i never got a check brake light, whatever that is?

 

u dont need a 3rd brake lite, my friend has a shaved wing and no 3rd brake lite and has been pulled over several times, and not once has anyone said anythin bout brake lites. and no, i have unplugged my wire for the spoiler lite, it does not say check anything in the dash,

 

cool. thanks guys ill try it tomorrow

 

lol, i believe bolts hold it on (at least that is what held my stock spoiler on my civic), 4 10 mm bolts, 2 on each side, and you unplug the third LED brake light, and u should (don't quote me on this), but i believe u have have a third brake light inside ur car for integra's that don't come with a spoiler? i just wired mine up to that and nothing came on, and wtf u trippin on for the CEL to come on when the third brake light is unplugg/disconnected ??

 

i was thinking about dong this, but does any one know if its easy to take it off and put it back on whenever you want? Or once its off, it has to stay off? Also, how long is the process?

 

its really easy. the process shouldnt take you more than a few min if you know what your doin. yea you can take it off and put it back on easily.

 

can any one post instructions or whatever, i dont want to mess things up....i'm thinking about doing it to see what it looks like on my day off. Much appreciated....

 

just open up your hatch, on each side there will be 2 nuts. take them off. pop off the plastic linneing inside of the hatch and unplug the brake like wires. from what i remember the plug is orange. then just slowly pull the spoiler off the car and your done. just ask if you have any more questions. goodluck

 

i tried this the other day but didn't get it off. i took the 4 bolts off and lifted the spoiler out as much as i could. the right side came out fine. but there seemed to be something else on the left side besides the bolts that are keeping attached. what is it? and how can i get it off? thanks.

There is double sided tape... You have to get some floss and pull it between the trunk and spoiler. You may have to use a couple different lengths as it will break occationally. I recomend Waxed mint. It will break up the tape allowing the spoiler to come off. Make sure you pull STRAIGHT UP!!! DO NOT ROCK AND ROLL THE SPOILER TO LOOSEN IT!!!! You will bend the holes around the screws. I did. Lucky I was just replacing my R spoiler with a Mugen 3 way one... But if you are shaving, make sure its clean.

there wasnt any double sided tape on mine...weird. it took me like 5 minutes, just disconnected the wiring harness and unbolted the bolts, pulled the sucker off.

 

I agree, I doubt many cops will look for that third brake light and pull people over because of it. However, in an event of a fairly costly accident, insurance investigators will definitely notice that missing third light and will use it to defend their rear ending driver client.

 

Center High Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSL) have been standard equipment on all new passenger cars manufactured on and after September 1, 1985 for sale in the United States. They are required by an October 1983 amendment [11] of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 [5]. CHMSL have also been standard equipment on all new light trucks (pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles) manufactured on and after September 1, 1993 for sale in the United States, following an April 1991 amendment [12] of FMVSS 108.

Just don't be a ***** when you're taking the hatch panelling off, yank that biatch!
After that, the wire unplugs easy.

 

yea but that 3rd hole will be left unfilled,cause it doesnt have a brake light.
