    Thanks for the video, it helped me install my carbon fiber spoiler. I was curious if there will always be a little bit of flex on the spoiler after install? I can move my spoiler a little when I pull on it, not sure if that is normal, or if there should be no movement after the install with 3M.

    • @captainargus4125
      @captainargus4125 Před rokem +5

      Probably late now but for anyone else with this question, yes its best to do it on a warmer day or apply a little heat to the body and spoiler so you get better adhesion. Just a normal hair dryer will do as it does not need to be piping hot.

    I have a trunk lid spoiler for a 2001 S2000. There is a slightly raised lip around the exterior of the base of the spoiler and then the rest of the base is recessed. Question is, do I place the 3M tape on the raised lip (which is only 1/4 inch wide) or do I place the tape on the edge of the recessed area? I've placed a test piece of tape on the recessed area, and it looks to sit flush with the raised lip. Any help, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    • @RWCarbon
      @RWCarbon  Před 2 lety

      Hey Jeff, we don't work on S2000's here unfortunately but our tech recommends to mock the spoiler up on the vehicle, find which parts make contact to the actual trunk, and apply tape and promoter there on those areas.

      Just like car emblems or side moldings on a car, you don't see those things peeling off, that tape is seriously strong. But the fake tapes can be very bad, so always use 3M VHB (very high bonding) tape, and if you have a roller use it before you peel the backing off, and after you attach the trim to the car.
