Does anyone have any pics of the bolts? Would they need to be filled?

As you flip up the trunk man, theres 2 big as rubber things, you have to unscrew those and underneath them are the nuts. Then directly beneath the big rubber things are 2 small stubby looking rubber things, you just pull off the cover and there are 2 more nuts. Unscrew both of them and then wiggle the wing off with a friend. I just did mine!!!

Just pop your trunk open and you will see four nuts held on underneath the wing. Remove those four nuts and simply pry the wing off with a little elbow grease. Just be careful not to scratch the trunk in the process. I accidentally did that. I'll try to take picture for you tomorrow morning.

A blow dryer with a little goo gone will help the fishing line slide through as well. Just like taking off a badge.

I took the tape and replaced it with the rubber foam stuff...
Just because I didn't want to chance water getting down the bolt holds.
Just get some, cut it, and use it. Then you can take yout wing off when you get bored...
