View Full Version : damn tape

Well, I got my spoilers mounted, but the tape on the trunk spoiler didn't hold on one corner. [=(] So I'm going to have to pull it off, replace the tape, and try again.
Anyway, here's a crappy, blurry picture so you can (kind of) see what it looks like.

I think I know what happened, and I'm to blame.
I prepped the trunk lid, lined up the spoiler and did the taping to mark where the corners should go. Then I needed my wife's help to be sure it got it lined up right on both sides the first time. This is at 8:15. She's on the phone.
At 9:45, she finally gets off, and I have her come help me out. At that point, I'm pretty sure some minor condensation had happened on the trunk lid, keeping the wing from adhereing down properly. So I have to re-do it.

I would rather redo this every year than drill my deck lid.
If you get it down when its dry it should stick forever.

You know I have seen like 3 C5s with one of the sides peeling off on the rear spoiler. Maybe it's just cause of the whole jellybean ass that is curvy? Anywho, I would just redo it. What kind of tape did you use?

I used the tape it came with. As for the roof spoiler, I bought it off of 5speed6 and had it repainted silver to match my car.

But they didn't clear my brake calipers, so I've been working on getting a Wilwood caliper kit from TCE so I can get them on.

I asked 5speed6, and he said he gets them direct from the manufacturer.

honestly i dont think there is a big enough demand for a6 items to warrant theft of that...if you were concerned about theft i think you have a greater chance of the whole car getting jacked..personal opinion

they'd need to tow it, when things are shady I use the flashloader to load the 'kill' file so the injectors won't fire [up]
