3d style Carbon Fiber spoiler installed! (More pictures!)

Hey fellow 5er's! Finally got around to installing this as I was really contemplating using the Betalink or 3m tape...decided to go for it with the Betalink. After watching every YouTube video there is for tips and such it wasn't too bad. I think if you're not crafty with your hands and fingers and lots of patience I can see how this could be pretty frustrating and messy! So after I applied the Betalink I used a lot of painter's tape and 2 clamps to hold it down. I let it cure for 2 days and I must say...it's solid as a rock! When I press down on the spoiler it doesn't flex at all. When I used the 3m tape and pressed down on it you can feel it give a little bit. So I'm glad I went with the Betalink

Nice!

You have more guts than I do! I personally never use anything that cures to the clear coat as an adhesive for mods. Especially on my carbon fiber pieces because they always need replacement or reclear when it begins to yellow/crack from weathering.

I say if you luv the mod then Fix The Focker Permanently. I don't like things that move (when they're not supposed to) so glad you committed to it Gene. It would be a relatively quick and inexpensive respray of the boot lid down the track if need be, but it would be a constant annoyance if the damn thang danced around while you had it on.

I remember the SA at the dealership when he opened my trunk looking for the wheel lock when he closed the trunk he pushed down on the Vorsteiner spoiler and all you can here was this loud crack/smack and he gave me this look like he broke something! I'm glad I did this like I said, feels solid. If I went with the M5/Performance /high kick spoiler I would have used the 3m tape because it is a smaller spoiler than the 3d.

good job.

did mine with epoxy adhesive - aint going any where.

you can even use the spoiler to close the trunk lid and it feels solid. got a feeling with £m tape it would flex too much and if you closed the lid with it, the spoiler would eventually come away.

Yet another professional mod brought to you by lsturbo. Looks awesome. I have the smaller type spoiler and it moves around on one side at the edge a little. Going to reapply the 3m tape when i get back to the states this summer. No balls for the perma instal. Still harboring strong feeling of jealousy over the steering wheel you got. its on my list for this summer as well. Hopefully your snowfall is finally done there and you can enjoy that beast of a ride.
