What product you use to put spoilers on

mashimarho · 10-31-2011, 02:14 PM

I just received my carbon fiber BMW performance spoiler and I didn't get any of the adhesive sticky material.... I was wondering what product works best for you guys? I've read 3M makes some, but I'm not sure if this would be available and any walmart or store.

Suggestions? I'll post pics up once put on

ya 3M, walmart might have some at the automotive section. Use water on the mating surfaces and slide the spoiler around til it looks perfect and press down.

3M double sided automotive acrylic foam tape..no question.

Pick some up at any auto parts retailer. I use 3M and another brand and they both work the exact same.

My advice would be after you've marked the spolier placement with painter's tape and removed the DST's(double sided tape) backing, using a heat gun to warm up and soften the adhesive and afterwards use painters tape to hold the spoiler overnight. I wouldn't suggest using a hair dryer as a heat gun can be had for $20.

+1. Some people prefer Betalink since it is more permanent but I've done both and 3M holds just as good, without the mess. This stuff is available everywhere.

What do you guys use to prep the surface?

Wash and clay bar the area.

I'd go with Betalink so that it will harder for anyone to swipe.

And use a wax/grease remover or mineral spirits...absolutely essential to remove all wax, grease and contaminants before applying the tape so that it sticks properly and stays stuck

3m all the way

mashimarho · 10-31-2011, 10:29 PM

What about general 3m double sided tape?
Some places I just checked didn't have the fancy 3m ones.

ONLY the automotive acrylic with the red backing tape..last thing you wanna worry about is peeling or having the thing fly off..the stuff is hard as a rock..five yrs I have had my lip spoliler and it still feels like its screwed in there.

mashimarho · 10-31-2011, 10:40 PM

Thank you. I'll check auto zone
