Can someone please tell me how I can take this off of my car? I've had it for about 5 months, and I'm thinking about going with ACS Kit for my car, so I need to remove this and replace it with the ACS spoiler. Please help me out... Thanks

Hmm...
Spoiler...
If it is fastned with screws you're in trouble.
Contact the garage or dealer that put the lip on your nice trunk.
Sorry for no help...

AFAIK they are all fitted using a double-sided adhesive tape... A case of slowly does it!!! Maybe some heat will assist with breaking down the adhesive. Obviously you've checked on he inside of the lid to see if it's got any bolts..? A mate of mine used some fishing line to remove his by using it like a cheese cutter to split the adhesive......!

Speaking from experience, it is installed with betalink glue. I tried removing it with fish line and a heat gun, but at the end it damaged the paint on the trunk. You will need to repaint the trunk or live with the spoiler. I don't see why they didn't use double sided tape
