Nate - any word on if 3m tape can be used? I can't tell from the pictures but the lip to apply the tape to seems very small - ie just less than 1/2". Or is betalink preferred?

Nice Nate, So are you guys installing that on a customers car?

$498 at Tischer when it becomes available (who knows when that will be). Add another $200 or so to buy it from retailers who are importing the piece directly from Germany, and you can have it today.

Cancel going out of town, do this for the community instead. However now you've probably already left anyways. I see how it is Moog. :P

JK! Can't wait to see the finished results!

V8MAN · 04-09-2010, 03:32 PM

I didn't realize Tischer pricing was out on it already, thanks for the info.

hurry! i wanna seeeeee

ok guys, i got the ZCP rear spoiler installed today and took a few quick shots since i promised. in short, the spoiler looks amaaaaaaaaazing. again, the OEM fitment is perfect. it flows perfectly from the ZCP splitters, up to the custom CF/grey mirrors from IND, to the CF roof and to the rear spoiler. i think it's a tasteful amount of CF.

while there was no DIY for this, i assumed that when the OEM install guide does become available, it will call for the use of Betalink or some other epoxy-based adhesive. i stood around for 20 minutes with the Betalink in hand before i finally said fuck it, and decided to try 3M double sided tape instead. it works great and the spoiler feels very snug. since i didn't have tape on about the last inch on both sides due it being thin and shaped in a way that would be more conducive to Betalink, you can see a tiny 1/32" gap. i could easily snip a small piece of tape and wedge in there if i want to. in any event, i think the 3M tape is going to be just fine. the one reservation i have about using tape is that if you park in some sketchy spot, conceivably someone could easily just rip it off. Betalink would make that almost impossible, but the flip side is that it's on there for good. so, i'd say decide for yourself on that aspect.

install including removing the stock spoiler took about 20 minutes with most of that time actually getting the old tape and residue off the trunk and prepping it for the new spoiler.

i also am including a close-up of the custom CF and Space Grey mirrors that Nate and crew at IND made for me.

moog55 · 04-11-2010, 12:43 AM

a few more including some shots of the ZCP splitters too.

edit: a couple more of the IND mirrors and also a splitter shot. (ignore the crappy rite aid sign in the background

)

weip98 · 04-11-2010, 12:48 AM

Love the spoiler.
Someone please make a E93 version so I can have one on mine!
