all you need is a socket(9mm i beleive). There are just 4 nuts that hold it on. Undo the nuts and life the spoiler out of the of the decklid... thats it.

Yes the underside of the trunklid. Directly below the spoiler/wing pedistals. If you have a 94-98 your trunk is metal so you would need to fill the holes quickly. If you have a 99-04 then yours is composite, like fiberglass and you could just fiberglass over them real easy.

By the way is this a real question or were you really just trying to get your post number off of 666??

Gotcha.

You might honestly be better off finding a wrecked mustang of your same color and getting a wingless trunk lid off of it. With the internet, I'm sure there are plenty to be found.

If not your steps would be:

Remove the four bolts from under the trunk lid ( all are visible when the trunk is open).

Sand area around the holes as the spoiler has likely deformed the area a bit.

If 99-04 use fiberglass resign (and possible glass filler) to fill in the holes
If 94-98 use bondo putty to fill in area (possibly using backing on the lid's underside).

Sand area smooth and prep entire lid for paint.

At that point your either going to paint it yourself or send it out.

Good luck and post up pics when your finished.
