nice upgrade, love the BMW Performance Spoiler

M3-S65 · 01-28-2014, 10:34 AM

I just put one on myself this weekend. How was it attached?

grantmax · 01-28-2014, 10:36 AM

3M double-sided tap. #6384 to be exact.

Hujan · 01-28-2014, 10:42 AM

Space Gray FTW! Love me some SG. Very nice install. But moar pics please, esp. of the exhaust tips. Don't see many black on gray.

M3-S65 · 01-28-2014, 10:48 AM

Me also, I noticed however after careful inspection that the rear portion did not make full contact. I tested it using a piece of paper and I was able to slide a piece of paper showing lack of contact with the 3m Tape. Its the rear portion after it dips inward. The location is circled on your photo. Take a piece of paper and try sliding it around in the area and see if yours slides through.. On the two areas on both sides, before it dips inward and on the front of the spoiler, I have full contact and I tried to take it off and it is stuck on there like the devil so I'm leaving it as is...

How about removing that sticky crap under the OEM spoiler? Took me over an hour...

I couldn't get my corners to contact as well as I wanted. I'm going to re-do this summer but I agree getting off the glue was a PIA....

Mine sits flush all the way across. Including that middle section you circled.

@Edward is an arts and crafts master. He ran two strips of tape under there for maximum adhesion. We even tweaked the tape setup to get my corner edges to sit flush. (This drove him to consider ripping the spoiler off his car for a redo).

Regarding the glue ... I took off my OEM spoiler when I got to my office and had the detailing guy wash me up. He noticed the gunk and hit it with a high speed buffer and some sort of non-Goo Gone solution. I was able to get the residue off in about 20 minutes. Best $23 wash ever.

MOAR SG for you. The black tips came from EAS. Those + the black muffler (I sprayed it prior to install) look most good.

I found you a pre-install shot.

Two strips of tape....darn it. I should have done that. My corner edges sit flush so that's one thing!! I used goo gone, no problems on the paint or finish but getting it off I had to use a plastic spatula like thing...lol. I buffed out the minor marks it left. Wow 20 minutes!! Lucky

The detailer put something on there at noon and it sat on the car for 10ish hours. I suspect that had everything to do with it.

This isn't to say I got off unscathed. I have a blister the size of a dime on my finger from rubbing the residue off.

@Edward has unbeatable tape game. When you tap on the flat part of your spoiler, does it rattle at all?

Edward · 01-28-2014, 12:55 PM

I love this mod. I kinda wish now that the spoiler was even taller or extended upwards maybe another half inch.

Ah yeah! That hit the SG porn spot. Thanks!

How can one solicit the services of Edward and his "unbeatable tape game"? Or a DIY?

Pinning him down is no small task.

I'll discuss a DIY but we no longer have a part to show pics. And we all know what a DIY without pics is like...

Diagrams are just as good as pics.

Sweet! Looks good and SG is hands down the best color!

ZEEM3R · 01-28-2014, 08:32 PM

Looks hot! Just curious, what drop setup you got on?

tinman831 · 01-28-2014, 09:09 PM

Has anyone had trouble removing the old spoiler adhesive with the 3m adhesive remover? I used that stuff to remove a five year old clear bra and it pretty much dissolved all the glue. Took no time at all to get the entire front half of the car cleaned up. Just curious since I'll be installing my spoiler this weekend.
