Quick question for you as mine shows up today. Do you know if they installed it with tape or betalink? The bottom of the CS spoiler is quite unique in that it has a fiberglass section bonded to the cf. So just wondering what is the correct route to take. 
Btw CS front lips are out now so... |
I just installed mine myself last week and I'm very happy with the results!
The OEM Competition black rear lip spoiler itself was relatively easy to remove. I did it in about 15 minutes with some fishing line and a heat gun, however, the residual 3M tape was A BEAR to get off! That part I did VERY CAREFULLY manually in very small sections at a time with GOO-Off and isopropyl alcohol and it took me about 2 hours!
I had IND pre-install the 3M tape underneath the spoiler and also checked the pre-applied ceramic box (my car has full ceramic) so installing the CS CF spoiler on the car was a breeze. Because it's OEM, it aligned with the trunk's lines very well and I installed the CS spoiler (after the trunk was prepped) in about 10 minutes. I just positioned it where I wanted it, then made a blue painter's tape template around it, pulled about an inch or 2 of the red 3M tape plastic back (on the bottom of each end of the spoiler), pressed hard for about 30 seconds, repeating with each several inch segment, until the end.
Here's some pics... (Incidentally, we just bought back our X1 (next to her) off-lease, that was a no-brainer with car prices the way they are...that was a steal!!)
