Thanks. That's the only pic I took. I was at the hangar and won't go back for a few days. If you want another photo, I'll be glad to take one. I bought a new grill and 'surgically' removed the old one in pieces. Very easy to remove if you do it this way.

I left everything in place and put the spoiler in the 'erect' position. Then I carefully used a good tin-snips to cut out the center of the spoiler grill. With the center out it was easy to work the perimeter away from the adhesive (actually a thick rubber-like shim material). The toughest part was removing those ten spring washers. On install I layed a small bead of Dow Corning black silicone adhesive on the OEM adhesive-shim material and pressed the new grill into place. Then secured with the spring washers. Its not going anywhere.
Joe:
Thanks for the compliment. Hope all is well.

Maybe we need to bottle it and sell it as touch up paint? I just bought a small 1oz bottle of Grad Prix White from the P dealer for $14.00!!! So $70 for a quart is a steal!

Man that is a nice looking GT3!! There was a SY one at W'Glen last summer and I got drool all over it. Nice guy owned it from south of Rochester. I could be tempted....
Cab and OG:
I was shocked at the cost for a pint of paint. I don't think it can be used as touchup (alone at least). It drys flat and needs the clear-coat to make it shine.

Oh...We are still ahead 16 oz. or 1 pint @ $70 ...better than 16 1 oz. bottles @ $14 each.
Sweet looking GT3 BTW...not that your TT that went to Alaska was bad looking either!
