+10 on removing/replacing thew body panels. I was working on mine last week. Got cut twice by sharp edges, and somehow smashed a finger bloody. That plastic gets slippery when your fingers are bleeding.
I used to complain about removing about 2 dozen screws to pull the Tupperware on my BMW RT, but once the screws were out, it was stupid simple to handle the Tupperware. I'm not at all comfortable with the Spyder's "just give it a good, solid tug" to remove and "just a little more pressure" to reinstall. I'm afraid I'm gonna split a panel one of these days.
My vote for a new Spyder is to keep the frame and drive train, and figure out something better for working with the Tupperware.
