How to DIY install a Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler

[@Oldpuck81]

I think this is the best video how-to for tape-applied trunk spoilers. Well done!

[@tonyfontana8222]

The best two sided tape rear spoiler install on youtube,thank you!

[@Luke-hw3ne]

going to do this soon, wouldnt doubt it to ever fly off but its the only thing in the back of my mind right now lmao

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

Nah, that adhesive is like concrete once it dries. It's the same stuff tthat holds your emblems on and those last hundreds of thousands of miles.

[@ShamanNoodles]

​@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 Is it possible to safely remove again? Like with a heat gun or something?

[@NarutoUcciha]

@@ShamanNoodlesyes it will leave some residue but you should be able to remove it pretty easily.

Great technique and instruction.

I was nervous to install my spoiler😭 but It looks good 👍🏼

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

I just put one on my car and even with all the prep and tape to line you up, it's so nerve wracking. It went on well but boy was I nervous.

[@jimsokolowski6103]

Does the car need to sit after application for some period of time? Or, once it is installed it can be driven?

Well explained.. very helpful.!!!

[@bluray4687]

Which 3M adhesion promoter do you recommend? I couldnt tell which one you used in the video

[@esqu1re]

Good explanation. Thank you.

[@lylew7407]

Thanks for the video, it helped me install my carbon fiber spoiler. I was curious if there will always be a little bit of flex on the spoiler after install? I can move my spoiler a little when I pull on it, not sure if that is normal, or if there should be no movement after the install with 3M.

[@sa-iu1cc]

u needed 3m and car adhesive that’ll lock it in I had mine redone bc the sides kept lifting w just tape but it never moved after i did a quick layer of adhesive w it

[@lylew7407]

@@sa-iu1cc I did use the adhesion promoter along with the 3M, and there is still a little bit of play, but that's if I am pulling down on it with a little force, which I am told is to be expected. Been almost a year and spoiler is still in tact!

[@juanengelbrecht8189]

Must an adhesion promotor be necessary to apply or can 3M tape be adequate enough given that proper cleaning has been done prior with alcohol

[@tonykari5124]

Great video. 8 ordered that same spoiler myself & used the 3M tape but I pulled too hard on one corner (the right side) & I pulled the film off the tape & now I got a small gap on that corner 😢. IDK what to do 2 fix it. I don't want to pull the entire spoiler off. If that's Even possible with the 3M tape. Please lmk if there's a way 2 fix just that small 1/8 corner

[@therealdjrichlove]

Same thing happened to me. I think I might just buy U-POL Black Tigerseal and squeeze some in the corner that is lifting. May need to use masking tape around the edge on the body of the car for a few minutes in case some seeps out.

[@jpatrick260]

I came here to see how to install mines on my v2 without drilling holes. There are plenty of them online, even a few on eBay all have great fitment as well.

[@DanielPera-vi1xg]

What about temperature? Does it need to be a warm day, or can you just use a heat gun on the spoiler and trunk to do the job?

[@captainargus4125]

Probably late now but for anyone else with this question, yes its best to do it on a warmer day or apply a little heat to the body and spoiler so you get better adhesion. Just a normal hair dryer will do as it does not need to be piping hot.

[@poiBoi]

I live in a hot environment where the tape does not work because of the heat summertime every year without fail is there a better way to mount the spoiler??

[@enzomatik]

betalink for a permanent solution. 3m tape with adhesion promoter & also bolt in.

[@mrcuboid]

Your instructions and guides online advise to buff/polish the car beforehand but all you did was clean it with alcohol. Won't it peel and lift over time without a proper buff of the trunk?

[@dennisreynolds6915]

Just clay bar it and use 3m adhesion promoter it will stick like crazy. I used a 1/4" spot to test it with adhesion promoter and it was stuck on to the point I got scared it would break the spoiler

How does it not fly off? Idk i am new to this, is the tape enough if youre going like 80

[@karkule5919]

Just like car emblems or side moldings on a car, you don't see those things peeling off, that tape is seriously strong. But the fake tapes can be very bad, so always use 3M VHB (very high bonding) tape, and if you have a roller use it before you peel the backing off, and after you attach the trim to the car.

[@bashenga666]

How long should you wait before driving after install?

[@RWCarbon]

When installed properly with 3M and promoter, you should not have to wait.

[@jeffmartin1533]

I have a trunk lid spoiler for a 2001 S2000. There is a slightly raised lip around the exterior of the base of the spoiler and then the rest of the base is recessed. Question is, do I place the 3M tape on the raised lip (which is only 1/4 inch wide) or do I place the tape on the edge of the recessed area? I've placed a test piece of tape on the recessed area, and it looks to sit flush with the raised lip. Any help, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@RWCarbon]

Hey Jeff, we don't work on S2000's here unfortunately but our tech recommends to mock the spoiler up on the vehicle, find which parts make contact to the actual trunk, and apply tape and promoter there on those areas.

[@jeffmartin1533]

@@RWCarbon Thanks for the information. So I assume it is acceptable for the edge of the tape to be seen once installation is complete? Thanks again.

@@brick9233 Hey! We use 3M VHB tape here paired with the promoter. It is essential that you clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and apply the promoter before in order to ensure a proper adhesion.
