BRZ Spoiler Attachment

Did anyone have the foresight to look for signs of how the deck lid spoiler is attached?

I preordered a limited in SSM and I'm not sure there will be a large potential for trunk swaps in that color, I know all the cars I've had to do a spoiler delete for it meant getting a new decklid or getting the holes re-welded and painting...I'm not sure a spoiler delete is feasible at this point in the early production.

So I'm ignorantly hoping that they just use really good double sided tape, hopes and a couple unicorn dreams to hold the spoiler on...

who's with me?

but seriously did any one stop drooling long enough to look, god knows i didn't

Personally, I couldn't tell. Underneath the trunk is carpeted.

Not sure about the logistics of removing it. I posted this thread in the mid-atlantic section:

Looking for someone with a WRB Limited in the DC area that wants to do a trunk swap. I guess I'm the odd ball because I actually like the look.

It will most likely have through holes in the trunk. I'm hoping someone comes up with a replacement spoiler that's more lip-like, that covers factory holes.

Yeah the spoiler is bolt onto the trunk with 4 large holes on the edge of the trunck. I saw a photo of it before but can't find it anymore.

Hopefully the TRD duckbill will cover up the Limited attachment and reuse the holes.
