I'll test the current build once I get the paint clean and devise a better way to seal gaps. Good luck with your efforts Brucepick. I'll be following. On to my airdam today after work and yard projects...

Honestly, I haven't done a lick of work towards a trunk lid spoiler, beyond tossing some cardboard cartons in the garage for possible mockups, and of course all the design contemplation in these threads. However, I've been doing some work on the belly pan and future flat wheel covers.
As for removing the tape ick, try some Goo Gone. Hardware store, maybe also in WalMart and Home Depot. A yellow/gold fluid in a tall flat clear bottle. Works very well, but TEST IT first on a hidden spot, maybe the hood underside. I have not had it destroy any finishes but it is strong stuff. I've also used charcoal lighter fluid to get that sort of mess off painted surfaces, very successfully.
