OK guys, give me a shout. I bought a Carbon Fiber Spoiler on Ebay:
Check link.
No hardware. I called and they say use double sided tape. What gives, should I even bother. Any similar installs, suggestions.

I just don't think it will hold.

Thanks

I think it should hold with some really good tape (3M or equivalent), but needs to be thin tape so it doesn't look bulged up.

May I ask how's the fitment for the spoiler???



And yes, u only need 3M tape... no hole drilling...

They say (in a couple places) it comes with hardware on the eBay page--how come you didn't get any?

Make sure to get some 3M brand from a professional automotive distributor like Carquest and you will likely never get it off.

+1 on the fitment question?

ralphpolanco

Yeah, I'm getting ready to tell them to edit their ad, coz saying that it has hardware can be decieving.

Thanks guys, I'm off looking for tape.

can you post some pictures of your spoiler? I want to see if the CF weave on yours look as good as the pictures in their listing.

The factory spoiler is held on by 3m tape, and 2 10mm bolts, the bolts are useless, I removed them and almost destroyed it trying to get past that 3m tape, the tape will hold it.

so how's the fitment on the spoiler??

ralphpolanco

I will install it today and take some pictures.

Sin, what do you mean by Fitment.

he means, "how does it line-up on the trunk? how does it sit (flush/even)?" things like that

there was a guy from the md forum selling on of these lips for like 50 bucks it line up ok but there was a little to much gap for me easy to fix though you might want to check it out.abstrakt

I can't find the abstrakt post. You said easy fix, I think I'm going to have a gap problem on the ends. I have not installed it yet, but I don't think it's going to be easy. The center part lays flat on the trunk, but the end edges bend up. I really don't think the best tape in the world will hold the edges down.

I spent a total of $100, so got to give it a shot.

I will post pics when I'm done.

ya i was the one selling the spolier..i talked to another guy who bought the same one and he had to sand down the middle part of the spolier for it to fit flush..took him like 20 mins he said but after wards it sits flush with the car..by the way it's still 4 sale..

Went to Home Depot and bought a good 3m brand tape. I installed the spoiler. I knew from looking at it before hand that the edges of the spoiler will not hold. The edges tend to have about a 1/4 contour upwards. In a nutshell, it really does not look all that great. There isn't any tape that will hold down the edges. Though, the spoiler is on and will not go anywhere. I will try some Black RTV to make it look better. If not, I will dump it and try the one from AutoTecknic.

Thanks for the feedback.
