I think this is the best video how-to for tape-applied trunk spoilers. Well done!
The best two sided tape rear spoiler install on youtube,thank you!
Excellent! Great instructions. Thank you.
Perfect video. Love the color . 👍👍👍👍👍
Super helpful, thank you!
Good explanation. Thank you.
Best spoiler install guide ever
Great video thanks for the tip 👍🏽
going to do this soon, wouldnt doubt it to ever fly off but its the only thing in the back of my mind right now lmao
Nah, that adhesive is like concrete once it dries. It's the same stuff tthat holds your emblems on and those last hundreds of thousands of miles.
great tips thanks
nice M4 !
Thanks 👍. But do you happen to have a video on how to remove my stock spoiler from a M5 (F10)?
Clean 🚖
Just got my M2 and gonna buy an Ikon one for the rear, nice DIY video.
What's the best tape for headlight eyebrow carbon fibre
will it hold?
Which 3M adhesion promoter do you recommend? I couldnt tell which one you used in the video
Must an adhesion promotor be necessary to apply or can 3M tape be adequate enough given that proper cleaning has been done prior with alcohol
Is that fit for Volkswagen Vento ?
Will this fit 2022 accord
I just put one on my car and even with all the prep and tape to line you up, it's so nerve wracking. It went on well but boy was I nervous.
Hi, I ordered a spoiler and it doesn’t fit. Do I have to bent it and if I do, how do I do it?
🙏
Does the car need to sit after application for some period of time? Or, once it is installed it can be driven?
What type of 3m tape do you juse
can you drive right after this?
Good, ill use "Everclear" 😂
What type of tape did you use ?
Where can I buy this spoiler
How long is this spoiler please?
Can you guys make a wickerbill style like this for gen2 CTSV?
I came here to see how to install mines on my v2 without drilling holes. There are plenty of them online, even a few on eBay all have great fitment as well.
Thanks for the video, it helped me install my carbon fiber spoiler. I was curious if there will always be a little bit of flex on the spoiler after install? I can move my spoiler a little when I pull on it, not sure if that is normal, or if there should be no movement after the install with 3M.
u needed 3m and car adhesive that’ll lock it in I had mine redone bc the sides kept lifting w just tape but it never moved after i did a quick layer of adhesive w it
@@sa-iu1cc I did use the adhesion promoter along with the 3M, and there is still a little bit of play, but that's if I am pulling down on it with a little force, which I am told is to be expected. Been almost a year and spoiler is still in tact!
Type of 3M?
I'm trying to get my hands on a carbon fiber PSM high kick spoiler for my Audi A6 3.0T Quattro Prestige
I'm in the harbor area
What about temperature? Does it need to be a warm day, or can you just use a heat gun on the spoiler and trunk to do the job?
Probably late now but for anyone else with this question, yes its best to do it on a warmer day or apply a little heat to the body and spoiler so you get better adhesion. Just a normal hair dryer will do as it does not need to be piping hot.
Your instructions and guides online advise to buff/polish the car beforehand but all you did was clean it with alcohol. Won't it peel and lift over time without a proper buff of the trunk?
Just clay bar it and use 3m adhesion promoter it will stick like crazy. I used a 1/4" spot to test it with adhesion promoter and it was stuck on to the point I got scared it would break the spoiler
Do you let the promoter dry first before putting the spoiler on it?
I have a trunk lid spoiler for a 2001 S2000. There is a slightly raised lip around the exterior of the base of the spoiler and then the rest of the base is recessed. Question is, do I place the 3M tape on the raised lip (which is only 1/4 inch wide) or do I place the tape on the edge of the recessed area? I've placed a test piece of tape on the recessed area, and it looks to sit flush with the raised lip. Any help, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Jeff, we don't work on S2000's here unfortunately but our tech recommends to mock the spoiler up on the vehicle, find which parts make contact to the actual trunk, and apply tape and promoter there on those areas.
@@RWCarbon Thanks for the information. So I assume it is acceptable for the edge of the tape to be seen once installation is complete? Thanks again.
I put a brand new trunk spoiler on my car. Used a 3M tape but it already came off.
Any tips on which adhesive brand is the best?
@@brick9233 Hey! We use 3M VHB tape here paired with the promoter. It is essential that you clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and apply the promoter before in order to ensure a proper adhesion.
@@RWCarbon Thank u ☺️
I live in a hot environment where the tape does not work because of the heat summertime every year without fail is there a better way to mount the spoiler??
betalink for a permanent solution. 3m tape with adhesion promoter & also bolt in.
How does it not fly off? Idk i am new to this, is the tape enough if youre going like 80
Just like car emblems or side moldings on a car, you don't see those things peeling off, that tape is seriously strong. But the fake tapes can be very bad, so always use 3M VHB (very high bonding) tape, and if you have a roller use it before you peel the backing off, and after you attach the trim to the car.
is that fits to civic sedans too?
No sir, this spoiler will not fit a civic
How long should you wait before driving after install?
When installed properly with 3M and promoter, you should not have to wait.
I wanna put a spoiler like this on my car . but im scared that it might get stolen. do you think that will happen?
Where can I buy this exact spoiler?
Bro... A quick Google search will answer your question
@@SHAKAtheG bro had a brz💀
Where did u buy that spoiler
They sell them lol
How do you take this off?
Ur not supose too
Does this hold well? like can i still take my car to a carwash without it getting off?
That double sided tape sticks crazy good. It'll be fine unless you forcefully tear it off.
@@KingSausage74 alright, thanks, just dont want it falling off mid highway or mid wash, that would be pretty bad xD
@@sokolzahiti6443 just be sure to clean both the car and spoiler with alcohol before installing. And on a warmer day so it will stick better.
@@KingSausage74 thanks will do
@@sokolzahiti6443 I just got my spoiler today but the tape it came with seems cheap. I recommend buying a better brand of tape.
What type of tape is used, what is it called on amazon
What kind of tape is that
3M VHB Tape
i stuck mine on with two part gorilla glue and it came off... my guy just using some double sided sticky tape lol
Yo probably didnt prep right, and/or that glue isnt meant for cars.
@@DaKurupt19 Iv used double sided now… it’s on for now
@@thewinner6999 Be sure to use the 3M promoter, that's what we use to make it stick well!
@@RWCarbon how fast can you go before the 3M tape gives out, and how long does it last?
how is it holding up until now?
Holding great!
@@RWCarbon What do you think about putting black silicone around it?
@@Mike-zp2dt We don't recommend using silicone on this project.
@@RWCarbon why? The issue is I have one of ur spoilers and followed all the steps but some areas in the middle lifted. So I was thinking about sealing the gaps with black silicone
@@Mike-zp2dt Hey mike! We could definitely help if needed, feel free to give us a call at 714-328-4406 and ask for Cory, our head install tech!
Tape? Are you kidding me? Why not use Tiger Seal Adhesive/Sealant?
WTF ??? . You NEVER tape any form of body mouldings on a car that is just a big no no. Heat exertion softens the adheaive on the tape and makes it so easy too remove . I hope that was a cheap spoiler . You should be using Upol Tigerseal not 3M Tape
Soften, say that to how hard it was to remove the adhesive and spoiler on my 20 year old car
Most people use 3m tape, it’s usually fine
Hey i know this is too late but is it bad if I just put screws on my spoiler so it doesn’t come off? It doesn’t look great and I don’t know what to do
@@NoorNoail-of2lf what kind of spoiler have you got?
The spoiler is better then the car! Fake sports car pram wheels 😂
Ok guy Richie
