Default How to remove V6 double sided bolt from spoiler

I thought this was the easiest part but after I removed the nuts from the 4 bolts on my V6 spoiler, I'm having a tough time removing the threaded bolts! How did you guys do this? I can remove the tape first (which would allow me to remove the entire spoiler) with bolts intact but I want to use the same bolts for the GT. Any advice? I tried the socket but it doesn't work. It seems to be a double sided threaded bolt (based on my looking under the spoiler).

2008 model btw

The bolts do not come out of the spoiler.

you got to be kidding me! thanks for the heads up. I'm assuming I need to get new bolts for the spoiler - online the best place? I know home depot doesn't sell them and the spoiler I received doesn't have them either.

EDIT - Can't I just buy normal bolts (m style) with heads at the end? I think that will work.

Chopperman - mine was def the first case. Bolts would not come off - that's why I was having such an issue! Installed it tonight - looks great.

Thanks for the help
