    Cause I think it looks cleaner without it. Just my opinion though.

    i wouldnt try guitar wire since it could scratch ur car.. whatever hapened to good old fishing line... more durable than guitar wire too

    Yeah use fishing line in a nice hot day make it easier. But once you remove the spoiler wont you have some nasty holes to fill, buff and repaint? I also like it with out the spoiler i had the basic DE now got the GTS kit and really hate how much the spoiler blocks. But they are coming out with inserts to raise the spoiler so it should not be too bad once they are added the MR has them. But good luck with your removal.

    Yeah, they leave holes, but I'm gonna get some plugs for them.

    keeent,you should try to find someone with a wingless trunk the same color as your car and TRADE,so you wont have to put any more effort than you should

    Try pulling it off using some good old fashioned strength!

    I took off an EVO spoiler the same way. Besides the 4 bolts, there is quite a bit of double sided tape and/or silicone glueing it down to the trunk.

    I wouldnt use wire becuase in all likelyhood you will scratch your trunk.
