Got bored the other day and decided to take my wing off.

Tools I used:
Swedish hair dryer
10mm Socket with wrench
Elbow Grease
Couple Cold beers.

First, I proceeded to remove the bolts I circled here, leaving the top one on by just a half turn to refrain from falling off.
I only documented 1 side, but the other side is the exact same thingĀ* O0

Second, start heating up the double sided sticky stuff under your factory wing. I used a Swedish Hair dryer since that thing nearly burns my scalp when I use it in the morning, I would of used a heat gun if I had one. But the hair dryer worked fine.
It was already hot out when I did it so I didnt have to work long. Proceed to apply heat and apply force in a pulling manner to break the seal of the adhesive.

Then when the wing is off, I used goo-off to take what left of the adhesive off with a microfiber. I didnt let it build up on my rag in fear of scratching my trunk.

I also used some old vinyl I had lying around to cover the wholes but I need to get a better color match.

Rexpeed merchandise is so inconsistent, it's not even funny.
