Ok guys, after too much research, polling enthusiasts, family and friends, I am going to go with the RW Carbon CS Style Spoiler. As much as I always try to stay OEM, $1,300 to $1,500 for the OEM one is just too much of a price difference. Thank you all for your help. I plan to DIY it myself.

I heated with a hair dryer, removed old spoiler slowly, used the 3m wheel. Then cleaned entire area with alcohol. Spoiler should come with 3m tape on it and ship with 3m adhesion promoter. Support at RW-Carbon was awesome and you should check in with them before doing this. Do it on a warm day for best result. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey Joe, depending on how much gunk is left after you remove the OEM spoiler, you could also try Goo Gone if you have some handy. I've used that before to remove window vent shade residuals with great results.

I tried Goo Gone, WD40, denatured alcohol, and 3M Adhesive Remover and none worked very well. Friction with your thumbs worked best, and I can see where that wheel would be the prefect substitute for my poor thumbs. |

Hey Sam, that's nice of you to offer! I may take you up on it. I am going to try my best to avoid having to use it. In any event, we should meet up and grab a beer at some point. Did you do the side badges?

Yes I did, I will text you a pic of it later on today. The new is brand new, I have not had time to use it yet. Plan is to use it when I remove the xdrive emblem on the trunk lid.

- lots of painters tape - heat gun - fishing line dipped in hot water - industrial strength Goo Gone Adhesive Remover - WD40 if better than goo gone - My fingers Install - Alcohol to clean - 3M adhesive promoter on both the car and the spoiler - 3M tape Putting on the new one will be the easy part.

We tried a foam pad...no luck. My buddy said he had actually heard of the eraser wheel before, but was afraid to try it. He is going to do some work on another car, and said he is going to buy one and give a try.

This.
Just add some perseverance and lots of goo gone and you'll be able to get it off. Invest in some high quality fishing line to saw through the adhesive. Let the goo gone sit for awhile and then hit it with a heat gun. |

I ordered a spool this morning. I like the advice to let the Goo Gone sit and heat it up. I do need to be somewhat careful spraying the Goo Gone, my rear bumper is PPF'd.

Done. Let me tell you, that wheel is a saving grace. I tried without it and I think I'd be picking away until Christmas. With the wheel, removing the adhesive took me less than an hour.

That looks so damn good. I'd jump on rhis if it was body color. Does it stand out in any bad way being the only CF part while other pieces are cerium and gloss black?
