FR-S OEM spoiler removal -- rough picture guide

Hi All,

FYI, anyone taking off the OEM spoiler for the FR-S, there's no plastic tabs. Instead you use a 10mm socket driver and a TT30 Torx driver just in case anyone wanted to know.

NOTE: the two outer torx screws are hard to get to, I dropped one of the screws in the trunk lid's pockets, need to find a way to get it out now.

I finished my OEM removal and installed my TRD spoiler yesterday, what a pain it was to guess the pieces since it's a 3 min walk from my car to my house, going up and down the stairs about 20 times was not what I wanted.

Here are pics:

How long did this take? Was there not double sided tape or adhesive holding it down on top of the bolts? Or was it just the bolts?

Magnet didn't work drove around and hit a bump. It fell out into my trunk.

As far as how long it took (previous poster). about 2 hours or so to get it out as well as clean up the mess. I scratched up the trunk pretty good due to the way the spoiler was mounted and I had a lot of issues taking it off with fishing string.

It's okay, the new spoiler hides EVERYTHING. So just tape up the holes and good luck!

Dood so sorry, yes its 3m tape + drill, but I ripped off the drill part without damaging the spoiler surface.
