Default f-SPORT SPOILER VS. FLUSH SPOILER

has anyone attempted to remove the F-sport spoiler and replace it with a Flush spoiler?

I really hate the f-sport and really want to replace it, but I have no idea how the original spoiler is removed.

It's stuck on with double sided tape, it's not screwed in. Heat gun and and fishing line to remove it.

What color is your spoiler? Let me buy it off you if it's silver.

I think It's held by some clips too right?

You will have to drill for the other spoiler though...

if you want the F sport spoiler, just break the clips off and use 3m double sided tape. It will stay, trust me. You will have a hard time taking it off than putting it on.

That's what I plan to do.

I have the Luxury model and I personally like my spoiler better than the F-sport, which I think is too blah..

Just so I'm clear, we're comparing the "blah"-ness of these two spoilers?

Yeah definitely one looks "blah", but I guess I don't agree with the majority here...

Rainbows and unicorns I guess.

For me, F Sport spoiler = the right amount of subtle.

I've only seen the F-Sport one in pictures, but to me the standard looks a bit bigger. Just my opinion. JTrue, are you saying aside from the F-Sport sitting on top of the trunk lid, they are pretty much the same?

No. Someone said the F-Sport looked blah to them, whereas I think the Luxury version looks blah. If you're looking for flair, the TRD spoiler sticks out even further.
