    Today I drove the Prius, HATCH OPEN, out my open garage door. No it didn't hit the raised door, I knew that was OK, but it hit the framework around the door!
    Luckily all it did was hit the edge of the spoiler and take the paint off.. Could have been much worse, broken window etc.

    Can that spoiler be easily taken off to have it painted? I ask because it's my only car and I can't be without it for something like this. If I could get the spoiler to the shop they can paint it and I can re-install it.

    Thanks to all who reply!

    Great stuff thank you!

    I am also looking at Dr. Color Chip to repair where the paint is off and down to the primer or plastic. It might be worth a shot for $40.

    Again thank you!
