Here are some pictures of my spoiler installed. Took about 12 days total from ordered date to received date. Great communication from JBSpeed. The spoiler fits perfectly and is a snap to install. 5-10m minutes depending on how particular you are.

Use alcohol swabs and thoroughly clean the area where the tape will be touching metal. I have bought plenty of rear lip spoilers for other cars, and tape is the only thing holding them down. Never had an issue, "PREP" is key.

Just got my spoiler. Took 11days total (4days shipping from Taiwan). Also got charged $30 by fedex for customs fee - fyi to any Canadians ordering.

I have a diamond white coupe and the color match isn't 100%, JBSPEED mentioned this before I ordered so kudos to him for making me aware! I'm getting it wrapped in CF vinyl and should have it done by tomorrow. Will post pics soon.

Just got my spoiler and plan on installing over weekend. Anybody have tips on installing?

How did you guys pattern the 3m tape (ie: around the rim of the spoiler)?

When actually applying the spoiler, what would be the best angle/side to start first to make sure I get a straight fit?

Thanks!

~ i always lay the spoiler loosely in place and use blue painters tape to create the perfect template (outline) and measurement several times to assure a perfect alignment. once the blue painters tape is outlining where the spoiler should go (equal gaps on each side and symmetric distance) you can have an added hand (friend) to assist and pull the 3m tape back and align perfectly before placing the spoiler on the deck lid for final fitment/adhesion. this works for me but others may have additional ideas.

Another round of ICE
Some have reported success with just using tape, but having spent years in OE automotives, I learned much about how many variables affect successful adhesion...the adhesive itself being to spec, ambient temperature and temp of the surfaces, degree and duration of pressure applied, for example. Due to the high severity consequence of a failure of a rear spoiler adhesive, I also learned from others to use a bead of urethane to secure the spoiler. Once installed, the spoiler should be taped down and allowed to cure for the day. Be sure you like the spoiler and the position, as this will be VERY secure, and the drivers behind you will be forever grateful!

C250 coupe 2012


just quickly snapped a quick side shot on my black coupe.

perfect fitment and tape is super secure. Make sure you align both sides because you wont be able to take it off once its on....

3M tape is good enough.

Thanks once again JBspeed

Installed. Just an fyi, there is enough 3M tape to outline the perimeter of the spoiler with about 2 more inches extra:
