Default Removing the little panel behind the spoiler

Does anyone know how this panel is attached?
The paint has some bubbles so I'll need to get it repainted.

I think you're pointing to the rear decklid itself. The rear wing is attached to the decklid which, as far as I know, is removed at the hinges.

Is your car slate grey? More pics please.

It's just a little piece attached to the wing:


The car is metallic black but it's quite dusty and the pic was taken with an iphone.
Some nicer pics:

Not as useless as me. See my first post in this thread. I was totally wrong. Came home and looked at mine and still can't answer the OP's question.

Going by this, it would appear it's one piece with the rear spoiler !

Hmm so it could be glued. The piece can probably be painted without taking it off so I'm just gonna have to take the whole wing to a paintshop.

Are you talking about the rubber seal? I don't think it's glued. You should be able to carefully pull it right off the tailbase. The rubber piece is molded with raise surfaces that insert into slots in the tailbase.

After futher review I guess you're talking about the deck area that the rubber seal mounts into. I would think the tailbase was made from two pieces (inner and outer) and joined together into one piece for structural integrity.

That's a great looking 993TT. Love the color combo and the cashmere HB seats are super slick.
