A spoiler on a car is the fin that is mounted to the rear of the car commonly on the trunk. It is mounted to the rear of the car by 2 or 4 metal securing bolts and a number of rubber O rings and washers. Spoilers create a down force on the rear of the car while driving fast causing the rear tires to have more traction. Removing a spoiler from a car is a simple job that won't take much knowledge of the car, but removing the spoiler will leave 2 or 4 holes on the right and left side of the rear of the car.

Step 1

Park the car on flat ground in a well lit area. Open the trunk of the car and locate the metal securing bolts on the underside of the trunk.

Step 2

Using the ratchet set, remove the securing nuts from all of the metal securing bolts. Pull the securing nuts, washers and O rings off of the securing bolts.

Step 3

Lift up on the right and left side of the spoiler to remove it from the trunk. Close the trunk of the car.
