Pop Trunk
unscrew two rubber bump stops and remove bolt under bump stop.
Rip her off.....first time is always the hardest cause you need to break the seal of the double sided tabe.

4 nuts man. 2 you can see right when you pop the trunk and the other 2 are under the little rubber height adjust things for the trunk. I can't remember what size socket it is, but just undo those nuts and then it should come right off. Besides the 4 nuts there is some double sided sticky tape on it and that shouldn't be very hard to get off. Hopefully that helps some.

Dude if you can't figure this out, there is a problem.

Remove the rubber circle screw things, remove bolts and pull the wing off.

Took mine off today. 2 bolts and 2 nuts. Remove them. I recommend fishing line because it is easier to deal with than floss. Use a saw motion back and forth through the adhesive and have someone put upwards pressure at the same time (makes it easier) then pull it off and fingeroll the tape off. Presto. (im drunk so dont kill me if your car blows up) hahaha Goose FTW!

Reinstalling is very simple, just put some double sided tape along the inside edges, put the wing on and tighten it. 5 minutes and you're done. If you don't feel like buying plugs, just use a little bit of electrical tape to cover the holes...
