Default Removing rear wing

Im about to send my rear wing off for some paint work. Assume removing it is as easy as popping off the 4 rubber hole plugs and unscrewing with the appropriate torx?

You will also have to unplug the brake light harness connector. Easy on and off.

Open the rear Engine lid. Locate the wiring harness coming from the brake light. Trace the wires with your fingers, then follow it up into the Right Rear Wheel Body enclosure. You can locate the connector with your fingers without seeing it hidden away up there. Then, unplug that connector and you can remove the Wing. If you have difficulty, just let any good Porsche mechanic do that for you. Shouldn't take him more than a few minutes to unplug it for you.
