ok, i'm trying to take the riser blocks off from the spoiler. Each side has these two things that look like rivets. Do i need to drill them out to take the rises blocks apart from the spoiler?
thanks, Martin |

my spoiler blocks have holes on the bottom where you can fit a tube thingy to unscrew the little bolts or studs or whatever the hell it is...

Metal or plastic rivets? I'm thinking they pull right off with some pressure.

looks like metal ( aluminum). I'm thinking about drilling them out, than use bolts to keep the 2 parts together. Also when i took out the 2 10 mm bolts, i noticed that the nuts on the back side became lose and are now rattling in the spoiler. I have to take it apart and do it properly......

well, i took care of it today. Drilled out the top caps of the studs until they fell off. Then i just lifted off the risers and removed the threaded studs from the spoiler end by hand. Not too hard, just took some time. Will put together with regular bolts. Have to now prep and paint the spoiler, than drill the hatch for the new bolt pattern......
