Here is how it goes on:

Just reverse the steps to take it off.

You will be left with holes though that will need to filled (either with body filler or weld a piece of metal in) and then the panel will need to be touched up or painted ;).

your the man Zdster!!

looking at the diagram ...
look like not that hard.. just to remove the washer and the spoiler will pop out *sweet* will do it 2moro :p

[honda_ek4]

would you wanna sell the mid spoiler once its off?
hehe

[blu3illusion84]

i will think abt it.. atm still on my car all week been raining..
will Pms ya if im selling.. :p

[|N|]

but u ll need to find a plug to fill up the holes

[mugeneration]

Yeah most people buy grommets from bunnings or sumthin, or just use electical tape to cover up the holes. My advice is dont take it off unless you're going to fill the holes straight after.

[blu3illusion84]

You could probably get away with just a little body filler and then some touch up paint and it will mask most of those holes :thumbsup:.

No! :p. Maybe get a ctr or mugen spoiler to extend the roofline a bit more?

[vinnY]

actually i've grown to love my mid spoiler, guess thats just me though

off topic, but i find it funny that you cover up your plate in the photos but have the plate in your my car info :p
also that mofo needs a wash, its almost as dirty as mine!

[blu3illusion84]
