About to go wingless!!

I've been thinking of going wingless, but first I need to find out how to remove the wing.
I have searched all over and cannot find a how to or anything. All i found out is there are some allen bolts to remove plus a glue compound to on the underside of the wing which can be removed with floss.

Can someone please point me in the right direction with a how to or anything please.

Also, what do you use to fill the holes? I have seen different ideas from rubber bumpers to vinyl stickers.

Thanks in advance!

theres 2 screw in black grommets.. unscrew them... 4 10mm bolts.. take fishing wire or dental floss and go under the wing o remove the adhesive. WAXXXXXXX all the glue off and your done.. i actually just got a friend at a vinl shop to cut some small white circles.. looks better than black plugs imo.. dont forget to screw back in the black grommets

Goo Gone works great for removing the residue after the wing is off. Smells nice too...mmm...oranges.

Yep goo gone is safe, you can also use wd 40. you need to get the double sided adhesive tape from 3m, its sold at autozone usually. Its red and the tape is grey. Oh yeah, watch out for the circles cause they might get rusted or crack.

I masked off part of the circle and primered it with rattlecan primer.

Preventive measures FTW.
