Hello , have a question on spoilers I have been searching, has anyone bought one of the quick install with 3M tape only ones and have it last?
They are selling these for $209.00 Painted and shipped!!
I have the bug, new toy and cant leave it alone.........

alot of ppl bought and used different spoilers with 3m tapes. they all reported that they hold very well.

 

OEM spoiler from factory is attached via 3m tape, and two bolts/nuts.

the bolt/nuts are not necessary and if the surface is prepped prior to installation you should have no problems with just using 3m.

prep as in alcohol wipe down, remove all wax and pressed on and clamped after the adhesion has been made.

 

chebosto, how long do you have to clamp the spoiler for? with c-clamps and some padding i presume?

i actually order one, not this particular on but it's also held on with 3m tape. just want to know before i install it after it arrives.

thanks.

 

Does anyone know if there is the soft plexy one out there, pre painted?
and what about a silicone seal around it when done??

Thanks for understanding ( i am new )

 

you dont have to clamp it on very long.. what you can do is put the spoiler on, and run/stretch painters tape over the entire OEM wing and extend onto the hatch to keep the ends down.

if you have non-marring C clamps, i'm sure that would hold too. there isnt that much force on the rear spoiler during driving so yo dont need to have it crazy bolted on... no need for silicone seal.

 

what do you guys think of this one...it's on ebay and they are also selling painted with your paint code...any opinions?

 

your money, ur taste..

 

ehhh... not really feeling that spoiler...

thanks chebosto... i'll need to find the painter's tape in my garage now. lol.

 

Thats a bit to ( fast and furious to me )
i was looking for the small lip style, not too much, not too little...
thanks for your input thou.....

 

if you're looking for an OEM style, i'd suggest ebay. i think i saw couple sell for around $150 shipped. or, it would be even better if u look in the private classified for a used one.

 

this is true, i thought the post was for any spoiler that was 3m tape style...by b, but the F&F is on ebay too

 

Yes sir, id rather drag my nuts over a 20ft strip of sandpaper then put this spoiler on my car...but it your choice, of course.

Look into the blitz, stillen v1, something along those lines. Or even Nismo V2 if you want something bigger.

 

Any pics of you and the a10?? well, really just the A10....lol...

don't you think besides the blitz all the others besides the oem mess with the flow of the car...

 

I do NOT like the Nismo V2, or any big spoiler like it, cause yes, they do mess with the car's looks.

i do like the stillen V1, though, and i might just get it over the Blitz...it flows well with the car and the Nismo v2 front thats heading my way.

Im not a big fan of spoilers, though, and most likely i wont get one unless needing it to pull off my final kit.

DO not get the one you showed above, that thing is horrid.

 

Would 3M be strong enough to hold something bigger like a fiberglass Nismo V1. I doubt it will, but I figured it was worth asking before I drill 8 holes into my hatch. Any help would be appreciated.

 

duely noted....any suggestions on some good deals on some stillen v1's???

 

i dunno, but I'm a semi-fan of the celica spoiler - 7th gen..
