Thanks, Octane Guy, for the write-up. I just got an S spoiler to replace my MC spoiler with. From what I can see left on the MCS spoiler, all that is held is some double-sided foam tape.

I assume that the black "goop" is only for the aero spoiler. Am I to assume that to replace the MC with the MCS, all I need do is remove the MC, using your technique, and put double-sided foam on the S spoiler and bolt back on?

Thanks

I'm looking at getting the aero kit spoiler. Does anyone have pics of the whole car profile with the spoiler?
Easy,

Thank you for this extensive writeup, i installed my aerokit wing last night and it flows so much better than the stock cooper "arched" wing. For anyone thinking about upgrading, do it! The install is very simple, i plasti-dipped my wing flat black to match my plastics, came out just how i wanted it. Only thing i did differently was instead of painters tape holding down the wing during its curing, i laid a blanket down on top of the wing and set 3 10lb weights on it overnight(one in the center and on each corner) to ensure there were no gaps, this adhesive is strong so making an error with an uneven seal would be disaster.
