so i get kinda stir crazy with my car, and ive decided no more money spending untill xmas. i get bored if my car dosnt change.
i really like the stock spoiler, and i really like the RS look.

so i figured taking off the spoiler for a week, then putting it back on, changing the look up every once in a while makes me not so crazy.

anyways, im worried about the adhesive, it just holds it down right? because after a few times of changing it wont stick anymore.. i just have to tighten the bolts right?? id really like to not f my spoiler.

 

If you plan on taking it off then putting it back on so often when you take it off for the first time, remove all the adhesive and replace it with a soft thin foam. That'll keep the scratches down and the bolts should be plenty to hold the wing on minus adhesive tape.

 

well put sikrsix.

 

ok that makes sense, what kind of thin foam are you talking about?? thanks for the quick input!

 

is there a tip to pulling off the adhesive??? i feel like im about to rip off the trunk!!!

bad-***

 

make sure it is warm.

 

right behind you but i have a super sweet kustom (with a K) black lock suppper badass

 

i used a razor blade,
but it is a delicate process not to marr the paint
3M makes a great adheisive remover
goo-be-gone etc

 

Id try goo gone first. Body shops have an "eraser wheel" they might charge you a couple bucks or do it for free depending and take about 20 seconds to zip off the adhesive left on your trunk. once the adhesive is off your trunk, give it a nice wax job to protect against the foam. (even soft stuff might scratch if its slightly vibrating.) As for foam, just go to your local parts store and see what they have. If it feels abrasive, it will be. lol

 

yup, go gone ftw!

 

Another one falls to the Darkside. The spoiler makes the car "pop". To each his own I guess though.

 

well... i took a hair dryer to it, and filled a milk carton with hot water. i asked my GF to stand behind it and make sure i didnt brake anything.. of course shes a flippin idiot, and wasnt paying attention and when it all pulled apart at once i threw the spoiler.

it scratched, chipped, and broke a huge chunk out of the corner... and im a neat freak.. and i cant put that back on my car...
GG ixs look sick w/o a spoiler tho
wtb GG evo8 spoiler??

 

 

sounds like a warranty issue
