gen 4 gt boot spoiler

well i thoguth this may be helpfull to anyone thinkin of doing this.

i got sick and tired of chasing up a hail damaged boot i bought back in november (its down in sydney and im chasing the guy for details to have it picked up by courier) so i removed my rear spoiler myself.

i knew there were going to be holes and once i get all the sikaflex gunk off il just put rubber plugs in them until im ready to have them welded up and sprayed with the rest of my body kit.

i thought they would be bigger.

passenger side:

drivers side

rear view ( i think i need to go lower! now!)

theres only 4 bolts that need to be unscrewed then with a lot of persuading the spoiler should pull off. i used a pocket knife to slice the sicaflex to start it off.

Always loved the way the Gen 4 sedans look without wings, The wing looks a touch out of place when i see them.

The GenIV's have that slight 'notch' in the back that makes it look quite elegant. I reckon just leave it spoiler-less for a while and see how you like it.

well my next question is should i get rid of the subaru emblem and just leave the liberty badge? im undecided on that one..

Ive always been a huge fan of subtleness. Leave it the way it is i rekn
Although the small sti lip does still have that subtleness ...IMO
I went straight past one lib when i was buying just cos it had that particular
spoiler on it

No spoiler does look good I've got to admit

Maybe there a reason they call it a "rear spoiler" heheheheheh

If I'm not mistaken, the Subaru badge is actually slightly sunk in... So removing it would be a no go. But taking off all the other badges does look the goods

the more i look at it the more i like it, especially on a side profile.

also, does anyone know adecent way to get all that residual sticky gunk off my boot? maybe a heat gun?

by **smythie** » Tue May 26, 2009 10:15 pm

have you tried eucalyptus oil?

by **Fangin_RX** » Wed May 27, 2009 7:36 pm

heat gun would be the best bet, cause im going badgeless soon and need to use a heat gun (Or a hair dryer).

by **smythie** » Wed May 27, 2009 8:47 pm

eucalyptus to remove the left over gunk. Heat gun won't help you with that
