Default Aero 2 For the Bluesmobile

So, now that I have the car, and will accumulate miles first to get the 500 mile oil change, then some more - I want to do a little track time. So some aero level 2 questions:
1. I saw a do it yourself video about switching over to aero 2 on the rear spoiler - it involves a heat gun. I don't have one, but I see Home Depot carries one for about $30 that does 750 and 1000 degrees - I am thinking 700 is plenty to loosen the 3m double tape on the original pieces?
2 If I do the rear, should I automatically consider the front Aero 2 piece otherwise I will have significantly unbalanced the car?

Thanks

I didn't use a heat gun. Just sat it out in the sun and peeled the stage one off

Thanks. What about the balance issue I mentioned? If I put the aero on the back, will I need to do corresponding front aero 2 to avoid unbalancing the car at higher speeds?

Thanks!

I put the stage two rear on the first week i picked the car up. I just put the stage two front splitter on yesterday. car definitely did not feel unbalanced without the front. The front does look way better now with the a carbon flash painted splitter to match everything else on the car
