- 2020 Supra
My girl got me some Visconti sauce for Christmas.
Building the Evo taught me "F the aesthetics". I haven't even washed the Supra yet. ?Well, turns out using fishing line to take off a trunk lip spoiler on a supra is a big BAD IDEA. The way the trunk contours, the fishing line gets put under tension and that plus the soft paint on the plastic trunk = paint annihilation.
I was so pissed, but at least it made the act of drilling into the trunk for the Verus wing not so bad anymore... and now I have my big wang installed.]

You probably would have been better off warming it up with a heat gun and prying on the spoiler VERY slowly with only your fingers until the tape starts to separate..Well, turns out using fishing line to take off a trunk lip spoiler on a supra is a big BAD IDEA.

I did heat it with a heat gun, but yes, I probably would have had a better outcome just prying the thing off. I was afraid I would pull the paint up. Oh well.You probably would have been better off warming it up with a heat gun and prying on the spoiler VERY slowly with only your fingers until the tape starts to separate..
I've debated on removing my Rexspeed spoiler and replacing it with the OEM style carbon version, the fear of paint damage has kept me from pulling the trigger.I did heat it with a heat gun, but yes, I probably would have had a better outcome just prying the thing off.

That’s actually what the tag means…….I hope you don't take this the wrong way but that plate makes me think of the word SHITHEAD. Pronounced shi- thead.
