Lip Spoiler for CL_S
So I really want to get a lip spoiler and I searched tons of threads about them but could not find out if anyone has this particular lip spoiler or has purchased from this seller.
Click Me
Im thinking about getting it because i love how it looks on the other SMR's here. If anyone knows anything about this lip spoiler or the seller I would greatly appreciate the info.

Yep, I bought from him. Took about 4-5 days to get to me, great quality from what I can tell so far. I had the body shop install mine while I was getting other body work done and they put some windshield glue on each end and in the middle because I told them they can pop up on either end after a while. With Chicago's humid summers, I didn't want to rely on the double sided tape that it comes with.

I also got it mounted further back on the trunk, cuz the pictures I've seen had too much space between it and the end of the trunk. It looks perfect now

Im 99% sure I'm gonna get it later on in the week, only if I found a oem spoiler painted SMR for less than 200, which ive been looking for over 3 weeks and haven't found, I will post pics and give details on the install when I get it.

i just ordered the same spoiler. wondering if anyone thinks it's necessary to use glue instead of the attached double-sided tape. i live in canada where it can get hot and very cold, so i'm thinking the adhesive will break down eventually.

I did mine alone the other day. Makes the car look so much better.
As for install, i just followed what it said in the instructions that came with it. You lay it down, curve and center it. then pull one side of the tape only about 2 inches and lay it down making sure its still centered. then keep with the lines of the car and slowly pull the tape away from underneath...simple really

Thats where I got mine, holding it in my hands right now I would pay probably up to 150 for this with how good the paint match is and how it can be bent, can't wait to put it on!

I just got mine in hand yesterday, which i'm very exited about! I see alot of people saying use 3m wax remover before putting it on. but i was just planning on washing the trunk lid, then using some rubbing alcohol on cotton balls to clean off the area i'm gonna stick it. What is your guys opinion on this.

Just installed mine last night, happy with it. Went over to a friends house and he and his dad helped me out. It was harder than i thought it was gonna be to get it aligned correctly, even with three people.
Then i got home from work tonight and i decided i had to de-badge my trunk of the 3.2. Also happy with that, makes the lip spoiler fit better without it, trunk just looks more balanced. If you like it and your on the fence, i'd say do it. Pics tomorrow when its light outside.
