This is probably going to be one of those things I have to cogitate on for a while.

Dental floss? Obviously when I start, I will be committed to the who thing, so I need to find some tape, so.....any old auto parts store? or the Interweb?

Lol, thanks I guess. The spoiler looks good. Use dental floss to release it. It was PITA to remove my "CLK 320" badge. I used floss and knife to remove it

Do I have to use new floss, or can it have some food in it?

Lol, use whatever as long as you don't damage the paint.

Well no sheet. How in the heck did you every get away with using a knife?

After I got a hold of a BS spoiler I took my car to a body shop a friend of mine runs. He took off the spoiler I had on it at the time using a 12" long flat bladed tool and ran it under the tape along the trunk right on the paint. In a mater of 1 minute it was off. No damage at all to the paint.

When we installed the BS spoiler, 2 of us lined it up while a 3rd guy released the tape starting from the center working toward the outside. No pressure was on the spoiler during this. Just enough to keep it from moving. The trick was when the tape was put on the spoiler a 2" long tab of just the tape membrane was left hanging out to start the tape release. It went on perfectly using this method.

The same way Mike described^ "He took off the spoiler I had on it at the time using a 12" long flat bladed tool and ran it under the tape along the trunk right on the paint. In a mater of 1 minute it was off. No damage at all to the paint."

I think, if I try it, I will floss it. I don't think I've got a blade that thin or that smooth. And the paint looks so nice, I don't want to make myself cry.

I used the 50 lbs. fishing line.

Great tip. Thanks.

Well guys, I know you are going to think I'm a jerk, but I was getting gas today, and glanced at the back end (while not fretting about the fit) and decided it was beautiful. I love the added complexity of the extra line below the spoiler, and the way the indentation for the light frames the light with a nice surround. I'm convinced they should have designed it this way in the first place. So go ahead and hit me. I like the extra height and the angle. The truth is, if I didn't really like it better than the Camry mounting look that seems like drop-leaf table extension (just flat and straight out), I would change it. Remember, Vulcanization was discovered through a mistake. So is my mounting design. Let's call it the House method. Thanks.

As long as you're pleased with it it doesn't matter what we think

Thanks for the order!!

It's your ride do what you gotta do!!

Here is how to put it on the wrong way (edit: Here is how to put it on perfectly ):

Hey......it your car.

UPDATE:

I have good news and bad news. First, thanks Klinh for the fishing wire tip. It worked great. 50 lbs is absolute the right call. It broke and I had to be careful, so 40 wouldn't have done it.

So I took it off and spent a LONG time getting the old 3M tape off. Then I fit it back on without tape to see what I did wrong. The answer is: NOTHING. What you see in the pictures is the one and only way it fits. It cannot slide down farther or get closer to the middle brake light. So it went right back on the way it was.

Good news, I'm not a complete moron and I still like the way it looks. Better than OEM in my humble opinion.

Bad news, if you want the exact OEM look and fit, this isn't the spoiler for you. Klinh and M-bENZ were correct in noticing the non-OEM look and fit.

I now feel personally vindicated, but have to admit being a tad ticked off at the seller who posted above that I didn't get it on correctly. That was bunk.

So good luck to all. I'm moving on to take another header into the Chinese wheel market. You figure I'll get stung again?

You can return it if you choose to The picture above look the same as your and it fit pretty good. Don't know why your couldn't fit any better.

I don't want to return it. I like it. But it only fits one way. And I'm not guessing. I'd bet a lot that the picture above is not the part I was sold. That back lip is very shallow, so it rides above the light and the trunk line. If you tried to drop the back to the light, it would make a Tee Pee space between the spoiler and the end of the trunk lid and there would be a great big space at the leading edge. I tried it. That's just the way it's made. It fits beautifully the way it sits on my trunk. It just isn't a true clone. And regardless of all my self deprecating humor, I'm pretty darned handy.
