Use 3M. Can pick it up from any auto supply store.

^+1. Works very well but make sure you have the lip aligned correctly first because that stuff does NOT like to come off when it touches paint haha

ugh I can't seem to remove the original crews on my oem spoiler to begin with.

It won't even budge with my screwdriver. I'm afraid I might actually break the head

So is MS 100% 3M or does it use some of the OE holes as well?

The authentic MS wing is 3M along the lip spoiler portion, and also screws into the OE holes. At least I believe they are where the OE holes would be, my trunk was wingless and I had to drill them.

I think it only uses 2 of the 3 OEM holes, I know they aren't all used and 2 barely cover. Damn, I wanted to try the wing out for a bit then ditch it, that won't be happening though lol

Everyone says that replicas are cheap crappy made wannabe imitations of the real thing, but thats only from what I've gathered from the research I have done so don't quote me on that.


The wing is looking good!
