Okay I finally got the 03 Cobra complete trunklid with spoiler & brake light 2day. The only problem I am having is trying to remove the spoiler from the trunklid. I need to disassemble it to save myself some $$ on labor. I removed all the bolts holding it on, but it looks like maybe these 2 pushpins are holding it in place now, along with some sticky tape. Do I need these push pins? Is there anything else I am missing because I need to do this asap, but i dont want to damage it.

Here are some pics...

Well...The good news is I got the spoiler removed, but the bad news is I broke the corner of the 3rd brake light when I was trying to remove it from the spoiler. The stupid brake light is $140 from ford & the only other place I found it was 50resto for $130. I might just try to glue it for the time being till I can come up with more cash to buy a replacement. Damnit!!!!
 
damn that sux about the light...on a side note the mach is gonna look killa with the cobra spoiler!!

Yeah it sucks. I already had to shell out $537 for the decklid. Now Im gonna have to shell out another $140. I think Im gonna try to superglue it for now.I cant wit to see how the Mach is gonna look. Your ride looks sick by the way. did u buy the whole trunklid, or just the spoiler?

wonder what it would look like without the third brake light? with it shaved..

I think it would almost be too plain without it.
 
Those brake lights break very easily... Lots of Cobras drive around with cracked ones. Its hard to even notice. I think there are some threads about repairing them, try a Google search.

is it possible to just glue it then sand the whole thing in an attempt to "mask" the seam?

when i sand i really mean treating the plastic with specific products

Yeah that would be cool if I could just fix it for now, because I dont want to spend any more money on it. By the way I broke both edges though were it mounts to the spoiler. Dont know if it will be strong enough to mount it anymore, & not sure how noticeable it will be. Heres a pic of what I have left.
