I want to round out the carbon fiber theme that began with my hood and is migrating back to my sunroof, *(still in the mail I might ad) with doing a carbon fiber overlay on just the deck of the shark spoiler. Does anyone know if the deck can be removed without uninstalling the entire spoiler. I would like to just remove the deck and only send the deck off for overlaying. I want to get the deck overlayed and possibly the side cut outs in carbon fiber as well.

Thanks in advance for any help! fing02.gif

No, it all comes apart. I posted a pic before of a breakdown of the entire wing. I think what you have to do is pop off the side plate covers, then undo the bolts there, and if you have a center post, then undo those bolts, and the center should be loose. Now, with the way it is constructed, I think you'll need to at least loosen the side pieces a bit.

Now, for getting those covers off, I'm not sure. Try to pop them out with a piece of plastic or something.

In fact, the picture is here.

If your wing has side cut outs, the deck can be taking apart. But if your wing does NOT have cutouts (like mine), it cannot be taken apart.

I had to pull mine apart to run new wires for the brake light before putting it on. Just put some tape on a flathead screw driver and gently pry them off. Its only double-sided tape holding them on. Then there should be 3 screws. It may take some wiggling to get them off, but they DO come apart.

Right on guys!!! Thanks for the help!

Ericy - yep, sending it out to get covered. Hmmm..., I think compact divisions. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with them?
