Did you say you got a ticket in Ohio for it? Oh well I like the trunk lip you have or the RalliArt wing. Just not a fan of notthing being there. But too each there own.

Well , when you get the bolts out of it there will be two placstic plugs on the wing that snap into a fitting on the trunk lid,,,, these will have to pop out,, kinda tugg on the wing and it will come off.

Also there is sticky tape on the bottom of the wing, maybe use some fish line and score it off,,,,,,,, this will make the wing come off alot easier than mine did.... I really tugged on mine to get the sucker off.

Use some plastic screw pluggs to fill the holes,, you can find these at a hardware store. These are the plug/screws with the big fat plastic head on them


Good luck and enjoy 90% less eye ball ing from unwanted people!!!!!!!!

Why is everyone taking the wings off? What is everyone doing to cover up the holes?

How much is an RS trunk lid?
I thought of taking a Lancer spoiler and covering it with CF to replace the Evo wing and still have some decent looks.

I want to take mine off too, but then I won't be able to fly anymore...
but also I don't like the idea of having holes in my trunk, maybe i'll wait to buy a new trunk or cf one again
