Default what size socket to remove a RS wing?

i found a 93-97 rs at a junkyard and the trunk was locked, so i gotta go back today and break it open somehow, then remove the rs wing. but i was seeing if anyone knew what tools to take with me?

i'll take a flathead screwdriver and hammer to try to open the trunk from the inside. then i'm guess i'll need a deep well socket to remove the bolts from the wing.

it also has the RS side skirts..but theres a tear in one near the back wheel. but i was thinking of investing in a plastic welder and fxing it. cuz i have alot of torn plastic things that i could use a welder on.

If I'm not mistaken you will need a 10mm socket and rachet.

im almost shure its a 10mm socket.
i took an rs wing of of a 01 and there is also tape under there so you will need some fishing line or some thing to get it off because if you try and pry it off the plastic in the wing will seporate ans it wont lie flat when you go to put it on a car its like a plastic base in the wing.
