Default How much of a PITA would it be to re-do the trunk lip spoiler?

I put my trunk lip spoiler from spoilerdepot on almost a month ago.

I realized that the right side has a small gap between the trunk and the curved portion of the spoiler But the left side has no issues, perfect flush against the trunk.

Dirt and stuff gets trapped under there now (gapped area) so I'm getting annoyed with it

How much of a PITA would it be to remove the entire lip and start over?

any suggestions?

thanks

Default Sorry bro, that's why they put VINYL on your car, not stickers.

I'm sure the i'm sure the body shop has ways to gt it off, but if it's on there and it looks fine, then just leave it.

GOod luck with that

Default yeah, looks totally fine to everyone else =P just I know about it. Can only know if you open the

trunk and look at the bottom of the spoiler then its noticible that it's not flush with the trunk door, to the right of the 4 rings.

Default OHH MAN i thought it was just me, same exact thing happened to me

i decided to not deal with it, it CAN be taken off, but I wouldn't want to do it myself, probably bring it to a body shop or something. It isn't toooooo bad, so I'm just gonna leave it for now and hope it doesn't get any worse

Default I think I just put mine on that way...thought it was totally flush but guess not. I'm just going to

leave it as no one can tell anyway. Just have to remember to clean the small gap between the trunk door and lip.

I don't think it's going to get any worse as this 3M stuff is pretty damn strong and sticky, definitely not going anywhere
