Took it out of the garage dirty, ripped around the local canyons for a few hours with some other local Turbos, put it back in the garage even more dirty...

No, fully functioning spoiler with OEM rams, though they were replaced once already by a previous owner.

On drives like this I usually hit the spoiler button to keep it in the up position as we frequently are hitting intersections or slow traffic sections below the "spoiler-down" speed and then shortly thereafter hitting spoiler-up speeds and don't really see the need to have the spoiler go up and down 30 times on a single drive.

carlo, thank you. A bit of prep was required to remove the soft touch oem finish. Once removed it went quite smooth used some rattle can paint highly recommended by my old paint supply house. Was apprehensive at first but was pleasantly surprised with the final finish.

When I did mine I sanded it off. You can use acetone but it will dissolve the console plastic as well as the soft touch so you have to be real careful.

I have leather on my console - I would like to fix it up (looks worn, scratches) can this be removed in the same fashion?

He used to go by that, but I think this is his second name used after that name (in the last two or three months).
