[sudden_impulse]

The only other options are to paint it yourself, take it off and put vinyl over the holes in the trunk, or find another spoiler in that color and put it on.

like if i pull it of and sand it down do u think maybe a rattle can and some clear coat will look ok or look like shit

[sudden_impulse]

I think it'll look like shit compared to the rest of the car, though if you did primer, sanded between coats, and buffed the clear it might not look bad, but at that point you'd might as well paint it right.

but to have some one do it will be like 150 that i dont have and wont 4 a while cause dam bills are they hard to take of the trunk?

They're not easy at all to remove. If you're going to take it off, do yourself the favor and do it right the first time. If you can't afford it now, wait until you can.

Take it off and have it painted, then put it back on.

Wow that's expensive, I got my spoiler painted for 50 bucks but it was preped and primed before hand. If you do the prep work your self it will cut down on th cost to get it painted.

are those like sticky things under the spolier hard to find if they get ruined

[sunrunner_pei]

Your dealer should be able to get them.

Well when I bought my sct spoiler it was already primed and sanded all I did was do a little sanding to get it perfect then brought it in for paint. What you would probly have to do to prep it your self is sand all the paint of really good spray some primer on it and sand it down till its smooth. I would recamend brining it to a couple differnt shops and get some quotes to find the best price.

will i need new ones when i take it off?

[sunrunner_pei]

Yes

[99SEminneaplis]

Depending on how messed up they get, you can probly use some double sided sticky take and cut it to the shape of the bottom of the spoiler and use that.
