How Many Cl Owners Want Carbon Fiber Spoilers???

Gotta start somewhere. I read the other post and thought this would also be a good addition to the CL. Especially the black ones.....

My rear deck spoiler is from that company. I have bought a few spoilers from them and were always pretty good quality. They will color match and paint it before shipping. Cant beat their prices!

I bought a Lorinser roof spoiler for my CL...thought it would be great but it has the oddest bend in it that prevents it from laying flush with the glass. I'm trying to slowly bend it into shape with weights...not happy. And there is NO way 3m tape will hold down this spoiler at high speed. Can you imagine the lawsuit when it comes off at 100mph and goes through the windshield behind you? Any suggestions on a good epoxy?

Shoot sorry to hear that. I bought the Lorinsor for my old S and it fit perfect. But your right the 3m doesnt work. I ended up taking it to my buddies bodyshop to do the install. Used some kind of panel glue and it worked. I will give him a call and find out what he uses if you like.
