Question about Lip Spoiler

[2RotorsNaDream]

I've never had a lip spoiler on my GS, the previous owner must have broke it off. So I got someone whos gonna trade me theres but I need to take it off. What tools would I need and how easy is it to take off?? I've heard its held on by special clips or something. I dont wanna have to go back home for tools as its kinda far away so an accurate tool list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1/4" socket set for the clips, and maybe a thin flathead screwdriver if any popout wheelwell trim fasteners are threaded through it.

Vicegrips and needlenose pliers to add to the ones already mentioned.

Also, you may need some WD-40. They are most likely rusted out and will break as you take them out.

Are ther holes pre-drilled in your bumper for the spoiler??

If not, you will need to drill some.

If I remember right, use a 5/8" drill bit and be sure you are careful when you measure & drill.

You will need a friend to help you-- it will make it easier if someone else hold the lip up to the bumper while you make the mark for the hole.

I put mine on while the bumper was on the car... in hindsight, I really should have taken the bumper off to make it easier.

Are you sure?? there arent too many (if any) standard sizes on this car.

They are probably 10mm

I cant remember, its been too long since I've put mine on.

Hell-- take all of your sockets to just be sure... LOL

I already got the holes in my bumper thank God, I definitely dont wanna go drilling, and he meant a ¼" drive socket set, not a ¼" socket. Thanks for the help guys, hopefully this things not too hard to get off.

Yes, I meant 1/4" drive. That's why I said socket set. I should have clarified a metric 1/4" socket set since I believe it is a 10mm socket.

It is a 10mm socket, but make sure you have a deep/long one as well, be helpful in some spots.
