Default Changing stock 2007 Mustang V6 spoiler to stock Mustang GT spoiler.. help!

I removed the nuts from the bolts coming through the decklid, and I assume I need a heat gun to loosen up the automotive tape above the brake light, or is there something else I'm missing?

Also am I gonna need to buy new bolts or can I take the ones out of the v6 spoiler that I'm removing? If I do need new ones, what size/type am I gonna need to pick up?

high strength fishing line i heard gets through the stock 3M tape very well. The holes should align properly.

heat gun pr a blow dryer will do the trick for taking of the tape and removing the old spoiler

both spoilers should have studs with nuts if they are both ford they will both be the same ive had both on my car.

If I'm not too late. As tempting as it is, don't rock the spoiler forward and aft to loosen it up. You will dent the trunk. I haven't done this personally, just heard the stories and thought I would pass it along.
