Removing splitters from clear bra'd paint

sig5x · 12-19-2011, 04:24 PM

Does anyone know if using 3M tape to attach front splitters to a clear bra'd bumper cause issues to the clear bra if you need to peel off or remove the splitters in the future? Does it rip off the clear bra material?

I wasn't sure and was wondering if any had experienced this scenario before.
Thanks.

Anything is possible with the adhesive. You will just have to be careful if the need arises to remove the splitters.

It could possibly peel the material if you are not careful. I have seen it peel film before... and have removed it without the film lifting. A lot of factors there to consider.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering if a "goo-gone" like solution would help break away the 3M tape, but it might cause some damage to the clear bra film. That said, I'm still debating if I should install some CF splitters on my car! Was just worried if they got damaged and needed to be removed...

Letting goo-gone soak into the 3m double sided automotive tape works great. I soaked my splitter's tape down with it and i was able to wiggle it right off with a little fishing line. I would say thats your best bet if you ever need to remove.
