Spoiler removal
ok, here is a tip, or a bit more info for ya. As mentioned a hair dryer works great for removing the 3M tape. Now, I see you are afraid to remove it and that it may damage the paint. Don't worry, it won't. Park you car in the sun for an hour with the bolts already removed. That will heat up the tape. Take your hair dryer and heat up the base of the mounting area on one side (ie: drivers side). While heating it up pull up in the spolier directly above the area you are heating. Once it breaks free do the same thing to the other side. Once the spoiler is off try removing as much of the adhesive "bulk" as possible. Once you have removed most of it move the car into the shade. Once it cools off apply goo-gone to the adhesive and let is sit for 5 minutes. Use a soft cloth (not paper towels) to remove the adhesive. You will find that you may need to keep applying goo-gone until it is all off. Once it is all off you need to clean the area with soap and water to get all the goo-gone off. Then wax the area and you are all set.
Now I know you already mentioned you don't like the spoiler but are you sure 4 plugs in the trunk lid would look better???

Please be VERY careful! A Heat Gun is NOT the same as a hair dryer! A heat gun can get MUCH hotter than any hair dryer and WILL burn your paint if you are not very careful.
I reccomend that you use dental floss or a light fishing line to cut through the double sided tape. Once you have the wing off, use "Goo Gone" to remove any tape or adhesive that may still be attached to the trunk lid.
