The spoiler is held on with 3m adheesive mounting tape and fasteners. Additionally there is a urethane caulk plug where the third brake light wire passes through the trunk lid. Make sure that you use some fresh caulking when you remount it. You can access the fasteners for the trunk spoiler inside the trunk lid. The side spoiler pieces have a mounting screw near the rear and the front. You have to remove the rear seat side panels to get to them. You can remove them by removing the fasteners and then just prying them up. You will have to remove all the mounting tape residue from the spoiler and the body--no small task. scrape what you can, then use WD-40 to get the glue residue off.

The lower side moldings (black rubber with the silver insert) are just mointed with 3m adheesive mounting tape. Slide some heavy fishing line behind them and drag it through the tape to release the parts. Try not to deform them. Use a good paint scraper to remove the old tape from the moldings. Try not to gouge them or they will not remount properly. Definitely don't use a power grinder or heavy sander on them or they will ripple when you put them back on. TAKE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS of where they are mounted using parts of the body as reference. It's difficult to get them back exactly where they belong without doing this.

The bumper extentions are mounted with fasteners at the bumpers and inside the wheel arch. Once you remove the visible screws, slide the extension toward the wheel opening to detatch it from the aluminum bracket mounted on the car body. Then remove the screws holding the bracket on. You can leave the plastic pieces that the screws go in in the body and just paint over them.
