Spoiler Removal

[MDMGSO47]

I am considering pulling the trigger on a S P90D inventory car. However, the car is red and it has the black spoiler. I am not a big fan of the spoiler anyway, but certainly not on a car that is a different color than the spoiler. Does anyone know if the spoiler can be removed without damaging or leaving holes in the car trunk?

It's applied with double faced tape. Plenty of owners have removed theirs, and while I'm not one of them, I'm guessing a hair dryer and nylon tool is involved. I know I've seen a few spoilers that were cracked (presumably during removal), so go slow and you should be fine. No holes underneath. Let me know if you do it, and I might be interested in buying the spoiler. Good luck!

Let me know if you'd like to sell it.

Yes - careful. I had my spoiler replaced because it developed an air bubble on the finish. After the tech was finished with the replacement, there was a series of long scratches on the trunk. Take it slowly and put a protective film between the nylon tool and the trunk. My car will have to get those scratches buffed out in the near future.

Another thread in this forum referenced a can of solvent that the service center uses to remove the badging, so perhaps that would help. Sorry, I didn't secure in my brain exactly what the solvent was. Also, people have mentioned using dental floss to removed the badging, thought I don't know if that would help for something as large as the spoiler.

Here it is:

The spoiler can be removed without any damage to the trunk as long as you're careful. If you're interested in giving your Model S a sport-inspired look, you can replace the black spoiler with a carbon fiber one.

I thought you were responding to the post before yours, not the OP. My bad...

Here is how you remove it.
