You discovered my true intention...I’m just a shill to sell you Maguire’s polishing materials available at your local autostore to refinish your trunk back to factory new! With the Drambeenie meguire polish, you’ll see an excellent long lasting finish. Be sure to pick up a bottle of trunk dimple polish today!

The little clip got mangled when i took it out on one side, but two needle nose pliers and a little time with comparisons to the good one and it got fixed.

Did the plastic tab it attaches to get damaged? Looked like there were some little ridges on there for it to hold onto that were getting damaged when the clips got jammed on mine.

didnt see any ridges other than the gouges the spikes on the clip left on the plastic...and just to be safe, I put a square of 3m tape on the tip to keep it down in case the clip doesnt do its job. Its completely hidden and has held up even through the powerwash(brushless).

And it's back! I finally fished the broken stud out of my trunk today and got the spoiler back on there with the Drambeenie risers. Took a pair of 90 lb magnets (covered with e-tape to prevent scratches) to get the broken stud out - I've been trying different things off and on ever since it broke, just got the 90 pounders today after a weaker set of magnets couldn't do it.
A huge thank you to @Drambeenie for all of his help with this. He's been in constant contact with me throughout the entire process, always quick to reply. I couldn't be happier with the result. The car looks great and spoiler feels solid, right from the first time I closed the trunk after bolting it on. Feels good to have that extra weight back on the trunk lid when closing it too. |

Was parking this morning with the sun low in front of me and I had to stop to admire the shadow of the spoiler on risers.
