Default Removing a spoiler.

A lot of people been telling me that the TSX would look better without the spoiler and such. So I am thinking about removing the spoiler off my TSX. How would I do this and what can I use to plug in the holes? I am still thinking about it cuz I don't want to hurt my car if I do decide to remove it.

Here is a picture of my car w/ spoiler.

I personally think the spoiler on the TSX looks great.

It'll be a pain to remove the spoiler, and the best way would probably be to find someone with the same color car that dosent have, but wants a spoiler... and trade the whole trunk lid with them. Once the spoiler is removed you'll have to fill the holes... which means body shop, welding, paint... big bucks (probably in the range of $500) just to remove something you paid extra for at the dealer.

If you really want to rid of the spoiler, swap trunk lids with someone that wants the spoiler.......

I like the way it looks now. Its too much hastle to remove the spoiler. Even if u do find something to plug up the holes it will look ghetto and ur car is very nice.

spoilers don't add value to a used car, but they can be a selling point of the car.

i would leave it, just cause it's not worth the hassle of removing. i personally prefer no spoiler on newer style cars.

I would just leave it on. It looks good and its not worth the hassle anyways to cosmetically make the car look good after you take the spoiler off.
