So I'm going to be removing my RMM wing tomorrow. And it should be a snap exept that I used some 3M double sided foam tape to hold it on and space it a little.
So I am kindof concerned that this tape might pull up my paint?
I was thinking of doing the same thing you do when removing emblems, heat the area up then use dental floss before removing it... but if anyone has done this and has any better ideas, I'd appreciate it.

i have removed two wings before with 3m tape on it, and for both times, the tape didnt pull the paint. i dont think you should worry about that. i got a friend to help me remove the wing. all we did was unbolt everything first, and then just pushed the wing upward evenly.

Well, so much for that. I pulled pretty darn hard and it didn't budge.....
Time for plan B I guess....

Naw, like I said, I'm mad busy this week.
I think I might have wednesday off... I'll try to get it off then.
Don't worry, I've been thinking of what that tie-fighter wing will look like on my car....
