M3 spoiler to put on edge or leave some space like the M3??

Makushr1 · 09-26-2008, 11:28 AM

My dealer wanted $784 or something for the OEM to be painted... I thought I was getting ripped off, lol. I believe that amount was including install, but still way too much for a little piece of painted plastic on the back of my car.

For that price, I would've gotten the OEM too... Should have talked to your dealer, rather than mine!

ok..so pretty much everyone here has to bend it alittle except for Mr. OEM (JK)

I'm afraid the force of the bend will someday pop out like a bow/arrow...lol

as long as theres double sided tape i think you should be fine since the tape runs accross the entire length of the trunk lid. but just incase, whats your license plate number, i don't wanna drive behind you. lol jk jk

also, position the spoiler a few mm's away from the edge for moar win.

asdflkijd · 09-27-2008, 04:22 PM

it should be like 2cm's from the edge of the trunk.

5soko · 09-27-2008, 06:57 PM

yea leave a bit of a gap from the edge.

Received my CF M3 spoiler today, and there were alot of areas were the weave got messed up. So I packed it up and decided not to put it on. Its really noticable...has anyone had this happened before?? Also I have some air bubbles I guess dry CF and wet CF does make a difference. :-( I'll keep you guys posted, and I'll take some pics if i got time.
