just got back from the body shop, had my m5 lip spolier painted for 45 bones. The dude there said he didnt want to put it on because he was afraid to "fuck it up." so i'll be doing it myself. anyone have any tips for me?

 

have someone help you out when you do it. and clean the spot where the spoiler is going with alcohol to make sure there isn't any dust. Other then that just make sure you have steady hands because when the tape sticks and pretty much a b#@*# to remove it again.

 

hopefully your using the m5 tape as well or something to hold it on.

i have a bottle of kettle one, will that work?

 

It's very easy to do.... if you need help... we have a little write up on it. We also recommend that you use the BMW adhesive tape for the spoiler.

Use a bit of steel wool ONLY on the area of the spoiler will cover. (lightly)
Clean ONLY the area that the spoiler will cover with alcohol. (Not good for your paint)
Line the spoiler up where you want it and use masking tape as a guide.
Have someone help you after you removed the seal on the tape and put the spoiler down.
Rub the spoiler down like crazy and get it as flat as you can.

 

i bought it with 3M double sided tape already on it

 

Which body shop did you go to? That's retarded they didn't put it on. I went to one in Rockville and they put it on for me.

 

Where do u get the m5 lip?

 

Juniorbean,

Is there any major difference between BMW M5 Lip Spoiler and the M5 Replica Lip Spoiler you sell ?

 

i got the lip off of ebay for 40 shipped, painted for 45 at oakmont body shop in kensington. they did some work on my bumper/quarter pannel the week before so i went back there. they told me before that they usually dont install spoliers. i think i can put it on myself. i'll post pics after

 

ditto

 

ones more durable then the other.

 

oh..and..supposedly the replica chips easier? oh and...one is about $100 cheaper

 

umcp do you own a sundance gold CL? i think i might of seen your car arround the knox towers
