So I got my car for my birthday and before I move off to college my dad says he's going to sell it. I want to mod it a bit but the problem is I can't do anything that's permanent, such as drilling holes or any other irreversible body work. I'm already installing a cai but I wanted to add a wing. I've read about people using adhesive tape to attach it but the only problem I see is getting it back off Has anyone had any success with using this method, and just how difficult is it to get back off because I'm afraid it'll mess up my clear coat. Also, does anyone know how expensive it would be to buy an OEM trunk so I could take the one with holes off when I was done.

 

theres a dude in the BM that has an SSM trunk with an OEM spoiler for sale. He wants to trade it for a non spoiler trunk.

 

If its OEM, Why not just keep the OEM wing on it when it sells. Why take it off.

 

If knew my car was pending sale within a year or two...I would just keep it completely stock. Save up for a car you can mod properly and enjoy for a while. just my opinion.

 

You cannot attach the OEM wing with just double-sided tape. I can guarantee you it will end up embedded in someone's windshield the first time you head out on the highway......looking for adventure.....

 

I don't get it? Why would you want to take the OEM look spolier off if you sold it?
All CL's had this as a dealer option. In fact there are 4 indents on the under side of the trunk lid(2 each side) to drill the holes to mount it.
Spoiler or not make zero difference in trade in, or sale.

 

Haha I think I said it wrong but I wanted to add an aftermarket spoiler to my car. I heard that people were using this adhesive tape that was designed to attach wings to cars. And the trunk question was, I didn't know what it would cost to buy another trunk that I could drill holes it then replace later with a stock trunk, when I went to sell.

Just get an M3 lip type spoiler then. THey run around 100 bucks and can be easily taken off/added

 

if you want to remove adhesives, heat it up with a heat gun, take off the spoiler, then remove the excess goop using goo gone. you might have to use some elbow grease, but you can definitely get it off.

 

why would your parents buy you a gift, but then sell it?

 

^Agree totally. But that may take too long to explain properly

 

oh and if your "aftermarket" wing doesnt look somewhat similar to the stock one...then dont even do it, if u come on here with some 10 foot ricer wing....it wont be good

 

That's me.

If you are located in the Bay Area...we could do a swap.

 

+1 maybe he has red hair

if my kids had red hair, i'd buy them stuff, then sell it.

 

dont forget to swap the locking mechanism, cause the keyholes and shit are different.

<-- personal experience on a 00 accord. HEHEHE.

 

dont listen to him, supra wings make every car cooler and add 200 horsepower

 

That's funny!

Good point!

 

you're right i was piffed out when i made my first comment

 

^^

 

i'm moving off to college and they won't let me bring it with me

Thanks for the input I'll look into the M3 type lip and see where that leads me. And don't h8 on the supra wings

 

the don't mod it... its an a/t anyways.
