Removing GS-R Spoiler
I'm thinking about going wingless. After I get the spoiler off, how do I get the wiring out for the brake light? Do I disconnect the wiring through the wing itself or do I have to cut the wires?
Thanks guys

I also wanted to go wingless on my GEEZER. I also wanted to remove the brake light and mount it on the rear window. I saw a silver teg in Ontario with one and it looked sweet...can someone go through a tutorial of this?

there is wiring that comes out the passenger side portion that mounts to the car....just pull on it for a bit and then you can disconnect it just like any other tab in a honda harness

The connector clips into the sheet metal on the passenger side like Airon says. I would recommend pulling the plastic the trim from the underside of hatch to disconnect spoiler light, everything is held on by clips so a few good tugs will remove everything. Remove the plastic rails first then the main plastic.
Also there are a total of 5 screws holding on the spoiler, 4 acorn nuts (2 on each side) that you can see and one plastic clip thing (on the drivers side) that you cannot. Remove all 4 acorn nuts, then a firm tug on the drivers side of the spiler will pull that 5th screw out. I spent 15min trying to unscrew that thing.

or try and find someone with a rs/ls/gs/itr (

You can actually buy a new trunklid too...there's a site called something like wholesalecarparts.com or something like that and they have car parts really cheap. But it'd still probably run a couple hundred...so yeah, I'd go with duct tape
