Carbon Spoiler Install Before and After Video

Hi guys. Just installed my new carbon fiber spoiler. Took a bunch of pictures but it was easier to share as a video. Used a DIY that someone posted in the forums. Will post an outside pic tomorrow. Didn't get a chance to pull the car out after the install.

Spoiler looks great! Getting that tape off was probably the most annoying part no matter what method you use.

This worked the best to get off the old tape, on my drill took like 5min with no damage to paint.

That's what I used also along with Goo Gone. Also found its easier to use fishing string folded over twice (4 strings) to cut through the stock tape. When I used a single string it kept breaking. That was with 10lb fishing string. On a side note...made it to work and back and the spoiler didn't fall off lol!!

Looks great!

And yeah, I redid my spoiler the other day. I used a heavy fishing line, forgot the weight, and it was a breeze.

As for the tape, like others have suggested, that eraser wheel is amazing. Cant tell you how much its worth it. The first time i did my spoiler it took me hours to remove the tape with goo gone. Took 10 mins with the wheel and some goo gone for the left overs.

BTW, I know the 3M one is the "official" one but its $33+

$13.49 and free shipping if you have Prime

Another pic

Wasn't 100% sold on the look spoiler initially but it has grown on me.
