the untrained eye must just think knicked or prep.

I love the wingless look, But I beg to differ with the two poster that said handling is not affected by a spoiler. I noticed an increase in rear grip in high speed bends, but that's usually over 100+ mph on a track.

you shouldn't be driving fast enough on public roads to need or notice a spoiler. it's just added weight & aero drag on a street car. looks good though.

How easy would it be to take the spoiler off but put it back again for track days?

If you get a spare bootlid then very easy

I would have done this a long time ago if it were not for the holes in the bootlid and relocating the brake light. How have you all dealt with those issues?

Unless it required by your local laws, you can just unplug the spoiler brake light, and the holes can be plugged with small rubber hole plugs you can pick up at a hardware store.

Depends which spoiler. I'm using an S202 spoiler, and it's only four bolts, takes maybe 5 mins to get on & off.








The regular STI spoiler has quite a few more though.
