new carbon fiber spoiler installed

flavp5 · 03-30-2016, 10:07 PM

i was impressed for the cost and quality of the carbon fiber

Mywifes335 · 03-30-2016, 10:21 PM

Nice! A few questions:

1. How did you remove the stock spoiler?
2. How did you prep the surface for the new spoiler?
3. The new spoiler looks like an Exotics Tuning spoiler, is it? If not, where did you get it from?

Thanks!

^+1

and it looks good!

flavp5 · 03-30-2016, 10:56 PM

thanks guys..

i removed the stocker with dental floss and goo gone and my heat gun.. removing the left over residue was the worst but 30 mins or so and all cleaned up..

then a nice wipe with some rubbing alcohol to make sure all the goo gone residue etc was gone and lined up the new one and bam.. done

this is a China clone for a fraction of the cost
EMS shipping and only 1 week to get delivered to Canada.. carbon is excellent quality so far .. fit was spot on.. can't say enough good about it so far..

the best was the cost .. $160 US shipped

better pics when i get it outside tomorrow i installed this at 11pm tonight in the garage

Mywifes335 · 03-30-2016, 11:12 PM

One follow-up...

Was this the one on eBay? Or from another vendor?

Thanks!

Is the spoiler indented on the top like in the pictures in your link? The pics you posted doesnt really show it very well, just curious.

Thanks!

flavp5 · 03-31-2016, 05:38 PM

I wish I had a garage, and one with enough space to put a couch. Seeing people's garages on these forums makes me jealous. The condo association rules in my building are basically like "you're not allowed to do anything in the garage."

flavp5 · 04-01-2016, 06:14 PM

i hear ya on the garage front ...
i built my home last year and have a attached 13x36 garage
it was only supposed to be 13x18 but i removed the rear family room in favour of the extra space lol

Seems like there are quite a few low cost carbon bits surfacing. It looks great on your car! Great price too!

EBf22 · 05-19-2016, 06:05 PM

looks great thanks for the link! looking into a spoiler, its b/w this china one and the CNautofans..

If they're anything like the RW version, keep these waxed/polished from the very beginning. The clear coat in the RW version was terrible and it started to cloud and degrade after only a few months.

I ended up going with OEM CF. More costly but the clear coat is much better.
