anyone know how to take this off? is it a huge pain the ***? im thinking about taking it off and painting it since its all faded. any special prep work i should do since its rubber?

 

are u talking about the rear wing spolier that black and flate or the t2 style

 

All the nuts are inside. Just flip down the carpet for the spare tire and remove the nuts. make sure you use a flexing agent in whatever paint you use or it WILL crack and look like chit quickly. A rubber/flexible primer is a good idea to use first, and make sure you clean the ever living crap out of it with a prep solvent, because most likely people before or even you wiped it down with a Amorall type goop. this will not let anything stick to it and will fish eye primers/paint. Infact, if its had numerous applications of Armorall through out its life, you may never be able to get it clean enough to get a good result out of painting it.

I'd just clean it and gloss it. I always noticed the black would come back on mine. :/

 

heh...im guilty of using armor all wipes on it. and i was gonna paint it black still, not body color.

 

Mother's Back-To-Black. Can be found at Wal-Mart, it restores black trim. Works amazingly. Made my '90 Florida/Texas sun-faded jetta's bumpers look new again. Pick up 2 bottles and do the black moldings on the car while you're at it.
