Can I remove a spoiler from a S 550?
Hi, I am trading in my Lexus to go back to Me/Bz. I want to buy a car with options and the only one my sales person can find has a spoiler I wonder if it can be removed just with dental floss and a hair dryer.

Also before I remove it I wonder if it serves any purpose?

Thanks

Phil

what kind of spoiler? typically lip spoilers are mounted with double sided tape while standing spoilers require drilling to install.

Thank you all. I asked the sales person to ask the body shop. And, Desired, mine is a little one on the back of the trunk. Not raised.

Pretty sure a heat gun and some fishing line will make quik work of it. Have the detailing dept peel it off for you.

The dealer confirmed that is is installed with tape and that it can be removed.

Thank you all.
