I've been kicking over the idea of installing the OEM rear spoiler myself and I've read virtually every post on these forums on how to do it, but I've come away with one question. Where is everyone buying this "trunk spring remover" tool? I've read a ton of posts stating that it's "only $4" or "only $6", but the lowest I'm able to find it for locally or even in the on-line shops is nearly $30! I'd really like to be able to install the heavier-duty springs, but I just can't stomach paying nearly $30 (+shipping) for a tool I'm only going to use once!

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate them! Thanks!!!

P.S. - Sorry if this is a stupid/off topic question... I've just been searching for ~5 hours now and don't have anything to show for it.

 

Check your local forums if someone has one..

Some people have used a screwdriver (oversized)

Better bet ................... Large channel lock pliars. Wear gloves and eye protection.

Many owners who have put on the optional spoiler don't use the HD springs. They aren't really necessary.

 

i used a big screwdriver myself.

 

I used mine twice. once for the right side and once for the left. It can be yours for 13.50 plus shipping approx $5.00 for priority mail.
PM me if your interested.

A large screw driver will do it no problem.

 

Or better yet get a Veilside V1 it weighs alittle over 2 lbs and you dont drill holes in yer trunk, its held on with heavy duty double sided tape.

 

Be careful!! there a gift to get off but a Total nightmare to get the new ones on! You have been warned were Eye protection, and remember when taking out the old ones that they are currently holding the boot up!!! I DIDN'T!!!
