They are plastic. They can be cut off easily with a Dremel I suppose. I was thinking to cut them off and placing 3m double stick outdoor tape on the remaining flat section. Or I may leave it alone and drill. Or I may buy the zeta cf spoiler. I don't know yet lol

Personal experience I took a blade and very slowly and carefully cut the plastic that is stuck to the spoiler itself in case I ever changed my mind and felt that I needed to use the screws. It's been on a few weeks now and it shows no signs of wanting to fly off. Hope that helps.

Another member I saw tonight had his 3m'd. Might have to be retaped because a corner was peeling away. But knowing it can be taped is more appealing than drilling.

The problem starts in the winter time when the 3M tape is cold lifting can start and you won't know it till the spoiler flies off the car.

Really Toyota did the R&D and your better off dilling the holes and installing the spoiler right my 2 cent worth.

Just drove home in the dark with my new baby, #103.
I'll take a pic tomorrow.
I almost didn't get it because of the badges, but the wife had an agenda to keep me from getting a black or gray car and pointed out that it had the spoiler I liked and was only a little more than the so-called Base model I was looking at. I forgot all the extras it comes with. Really glad she talked me into it now. On the way home she was comfy at 70 compared to my side of the car at 65 so very happy we got it.
Also found out there is a switch on the side of the shift knob to turn it on/off.

Edit: tried to add a couple of pics but apparently I am missing a security token.

Mine is drilled and no issues if done right. It comes with some rubber grommets and seals so no leaking
