M3 style spoiler
Is there any good tips on how I should stick it on my trunk or that very carefully? And what kinda solution do I use on the area before sticking it on the trunk? Thanks for any help. I am going to try to attempt to put it on this weekend.

I just bought one too, i'm going home to install it (among other things) this Thursday. I think someone on this site wrote that you had to bend it to fit the curve of the trunk, I remember some people saying that they hairdried it to warm up the plastic. Do a search and u'll find the thread i'm talking about.

I seen a couple of pictures with the spoiler on the trunk...should the spoiler sit on the "edge" of the trunk? I seen one where the spoiler seems not as close to the edge of the trunk. any suggestions? i was thinking of masking taping the spoiler to the trunk then once i have it they way i want it too look...outline the spoiler position as a guide and the remove the 3m tap and place it on the trunk.

I just eyeballed it before i took the tape off and then went at it. I am used to doing thisngs liek this at work so it was rather easy. if your lip is the same as mine you sound have roughly 1/4" from decklid edge to lip edge. main thing to do is get the center where you want it and just make sure you lay it right

Well... there's double sided tape on the OEM bodykit as well. Probably the same kind as the spoiler. Acura recommends rubbing alcohol. It did the trick when i did the install too. When i was peeling the backing off of the tape along the kit the backing broke in one spot, i figured since i haven't pressed down yet, i'd be able to pull it back slightly since it's flexible and grab onto the backing again. I was dead wrong, i tried to pull really hard. I thought the paint was going to come off before the tape would give. So i just tucked the backing in behind the bumper.
So... long story short, rubbing alcohol will do the trick.
