Why would you want tp remove the Wickerbills? I think that is one of the coolest options on a GS. Looks much better than aero 1 or 3 options IMHO.

I'd have to wonder what it does for MPG...but you probably didn't buy the car for MPG.

i drive my car hard - never in eco mode -- never not on it - I could care less about the gas mileage - I would not take off the aero parts to gain 1/2 mpg - I'm not corporate GM - LOL

OP, I'm just curious, what is wrong with the Wicker Bill? This is such a odd request I just want to hear your thoughts, thanks.

I knew this would be a challenge since all I could find on the forum was adding or increasing the size of the rear spoiler.
I just don't like the look. I want it off or reduce to a base car if possible without leaving holes.

At this point I don't think that's possible.

You can remove the high Wicker Bill and go with one without which is Stage 1, you could probably find someone that would swap with you and that would give you the look you desire.

can you share a picture of your current Wicker Bill?

I'm a bit confused.

You have Stage 1 winglets, Stage 2 winglets and then Stage 3 Wickerbill. Sounds like you're referring to Stage 2 winglets?

I went from stage 1 to stage 2. All you need is a screwdriver and about 15 minutes. If you offer a trade in the C7 parts forum I would think someone would take you up for an even swap, most guys prefer stage 2.

A swapped out one(s) will have used double sided tape, a new one (s) will have ready tape, but in either case you don't need the tape. You can buy that double sided tape at NAPA or any auto parts store if you really want it.

WickerBill is the clear adjustable center Section ... which is not available from the factory on a GS ...

OP is talking about the stage 2 spoiler, he wants stage 1 spoiler, the reference to Wicker Bill was his original statement but, he meant spoiler . . .

OP can you provide pictures . . .
