May have over did it with red wrap on front spoilers

A 1' by 5' piece is enough to do the two spoilers and the front chrome trim on the edge of the bumper. When I applied the red film to the front edge I did it with the chrome strip in place. I wasn't satisfied with the way it turned out and I re-wrapped it in G251 Sterling Silver to match the spoilers. The second time I removed the chrome strip which makes it easier to do a good wrap job.

Any tips on removing the spoiler trim pieces?

You will need a few plastic trim removal tools. There are eight tabs with a wedge shaped lock along the edges of the spoiler which can be pried out of the slots in the bumper. Two of these tabs can be accessed from the slot in the wheel well. Another tab is on the very bottom edge of the spoiler. This one can be released by inserting an appropriate tool in a small slot in the bottom of the bumper. I did not understand how to release this lower tab and it snapped off on the first spoiler I removed. Once the lowest three tabs are released, you can start to pull the spoiler away from the bumper. On the second side I used an old bottle opener that I found in my Dad's 60-year old tool box to release this tab. There are three additional tabs with a stepped locking edge along the top of the spoiler. Unfortunately, all of these tabs broke off both of the spoilers. I did replace the driver side spoiler because I did not like the bottom edge not being secured. The three missing tabs on the top of the passenger side spoiler are not really an issue. I should have used a "tool" like a Popsicle stick to release the top three tabs. I regret not purchasing a spare spoiler first in order to see how it is held in place before attempting to remove one. The two tabs at the pointed end of the spoiler are stubborn and require some patience to remove.
