Removing the spoiler...
 

Hello all,

Finally got full permission from the wife to order an R/T. :D I'm not a big fan of the spoiler though. Anyone that has it already, how's it held on? Or has anyone else yanked theirs yet?

Well, it seems to be held by factory double-sided white foam tape. Sort of like the 3M stuff, that actually stays "on". You can remove the spoiler but it looks so cool. I like the spoiler, it will stay on mine. :D

Are you serious? That's like a dream come true for me! Thanks for checking!!

Now just deciding between Hemi Orange and Dark Titanium... Poor me. :D:D:D

i guess you might not have to worry too much in an R/T but we were just talkin in another thread in the general forum about the 100mph lane change. spoiler comes in handy there apparently.

FYI, there are some bolts and nuts in the rear deck spoiler attachement, at least there are on my SRT8.

I am pretty sure they are held on with nuts and bolts..if they were just taped me and Chris would of lost ours the other night..DAMN CARS HAUL....
We went about 10 miles in five minutes..but we kept waiting for the guy on the Harley...[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

Thats funny... the guy on the Harley followed me into town. We actually pulled up to a light together. Got a chance to exchange a few words. The Car had him with his grin on too. :D

Turns out he is a Camaro guy... but loved the new Challenger... ;)

The story about the Harley . Remind's me of when I had my new 71 340 R/T . I had to drive about 40 miles each way on the interstate to work and back each day. And there where toll station's . On the way home one day . I was pulling out of the toll gate headed home when a a State trooper pulled into the lane next to me . Speed limit was 70 then . I got a jump on him with traffic getting on behind me . When I came to a hill and curve where he couldn't put radar on me . I took it over to about 140 . Then slowed back down. I did that several time's over the next 40 miles. When I was pulling out of the next toll gate . I heard a horn blow. And looked over . It was the trooper in the next gate . He waved at me . I got off the interstate to head home. And he went on . Man he must have had that cruiser in the wind. LOL.

I agree with you on a spoiler. In addition to price, the lack of spoiler was the main reason I got the SE. However, there has been a thread where someone added a spoiler to his SE (to each his own, I guess), and he had to drill holes to install it. Hence, your spoiler likely will have nuts and bolts in addition to the tape. It might be easier just to get the trunk lid from an SE and have that installed.

I went to the basement and checked out my R/T and the spoiler is definitely bolted on to the car. Two of the bolt holes are at at the edge of the deck lid on either side and quite visible.

I'm diggin the spoiler! Its staying!

Your car, your money, however just a reminder. The spoilers on Challengers are the result of extensive wind testing for stability and downforce and are actually functional, especially at high speeds.

I’m not sure why you would want to make your R/T look like an SE, maybe your into the sleeper look and you’re planning to kick some 6 cylinder Mustangs.

Another consideration, I back my Challenger into the garage and without the spoiler I wouldn’t able to see the back edge of the trunk lid. Knowing where the car ends is very helpful if you ever have to use reverse. Which by the way, is more likely then my needing to change lanes at 120 MPH.
