it was fairly simple to get off, just undo some bolts slide it up and pull. came off no problem, though i cutt the third tail light wire on the top, when i shoulda done it on the bottom so i can reuse it easily.

I think I'm one of the few who actually like the look of a spoilerless bird. The spoiler on my GTA is pretty old and doesn't exactly look as good as it could. Its far from broken though. I might take it off and leave it off when I paint it next winter.

I like birds with no spoiler. If I ever get a TA and the spoiler is in crappy condition, its gone

thanks for the replys guys, and hamspiced, you have to paint it with paint mixed with some sort of rubber agent, that should make it a bit better, my recomendation tho is to just buy a fiberglass spoiler, you'll be better off in the long run. Or take it off entirely, i kinda like the look of mine without one

i took the spoiler off of my trans am about a month ago because it was doin the same thing as yours. it was chipping and paint was just fallin off. i took it off and i thought it looked so much better but when i was driving it i got pulled over for having no 3rd brake light.
so i had to put it back on. i stripped the paint off first because i couldnt stand lookin at it all chipped and scratched.
