How easy is it to take off the stock wing?

requires a midget and a very large hammer...i am tlkaing about a 30lb sledge








4 bolts(edited for the other s14 people) hold it in from the inside of the trunk lid.....I am not a search nazi but did you ever try to figure this stuff out on your own?

yea, mine just had the 4 nuts...... 4 holes. Bought some clear silicone and some little caps to put over the holes. Its not suuuuuuuuper noticable but then again I'm not too worried about it because the car will be re-painted come summer time.

All US s14 spoilers are the same. 4 8mm bolts. The studs come off of the wing, so I can't see how using screws of any kind would work.

Your car is a base model then, with a non-OEM spoiler. Or, the OE spoiler was damaged at some point and swapped with an aftermarket version since there's 1/5th the cost. Either way, phillips head screws are not OEM on any Nissan spoiler.

I bought my S14 with 17 miles on it. I have removed my spoiler before and the area around the holes were untouched factory paint.

Yep, the holes in my trunk look way better. And I had 5 holes in my 97. But on was bigger than the rest and it had no bolt. It was almost like it was a vent for the inside of the wing.
