Does anyone know where I can get an installation kit for an OE spoiler?

 

I bought a OEM spiler from the spoilerdepot in Miami Fla. The generic instructions came with it. It is an awesome, painted spoiler for 185.00 shipped. I only had to drill 2 - 1/4" holes and the drilled holes lined up perfect with the factory holes from underneath. It was a piece of cake to install, just a little nervous taking a drill to my mint 04 DB ZZZ. Would recommend pre-drilling with an 1/8" hole first. Don't forget to remove the plastic cover from underneath.

 

just use 3M double sided tape for it. otherwise you would have to drill the rear if you do not have this already. the tape will hold the spoiler on.

 

I've seen them on ebay for ten bucks. comes with template, tape, fasteners and instructions. seller was graffz I believe.

 

Use this method, you will be thankful you did later.

 

I am wanting to get one of the OEM look alike spoilers in CF from ebay. I cannot find one on there right now but have seen them before. I also plan to use the double sided 3M tape. Has anyone gotten this spoiler before and if so, how is the quailty.

 

Is the double tape really that adhesive? I can't imagine traveling 75-100 MPH and that spoiler still remaining without rattling.

 

Yes, the tape is that strong and then some. It will not rattle or come off.

 

will the 3m tape result in paint problems if you choose to remove it?
Although, I guess it's better than having holes in the trunk.

 

The idea of having to drill holes in the metal trunk lid. This is what has held me back from installing the OE spoiler on my Z. As a result its been sitting in shipping box in the closet for the past couple of months. I noticed one of the things to have on hand in the instructions is a can of rust inhibitor spray.

 

Where can you get this tape. At PeP BOYS or AUTO ZONE???

 

You can get the tape at Home Depot, it is part #4011. Just cover the underside of the spoiler with it and you will have no problems. The spoiler depot one has nothing protruding from the underside, the OEM one does, cut those off with a dremmel.

 

+2 on the 3m tape.

The OEM spoiler is secured with 3m type tape along with the screws anyway, to keep water and moisture from collecting underneath it. So regardless, you'd have to join your spoiler to the hatch with some kind of adhesive.

I shaved the bolts off the OEM spoiler and applied with 4011 (as recommended by kbirdsong) You can find this stuff at Autozone and even Wal-Mart.

About it coming off? I'm willing to bet six people attempting to yank it off with the car traveling at lightspeed will not take the spoiler off. It is THAT secure with the way it is surfaced on the hatch. It has an almost sunction like quality to it. Besides, any downforce applied to the spoiler at highspeed would only push it down on the hatch even more. It really has no awkward balancing issue like say...a veilside wing would have.

Removing the spoiler would require a heat gun to soften the 3m and a ridiculous amount of time separating the 3m with dental floss.
