Just got my spoiler, and I took a look at the tape, kinda put it to my car and now I thinking that, that thing will come off easily. With the bend that you have to make anyone fear the thing coming off, or am I just paranoid?!

 

could we see any pics, i would like to do that as my next mod and i want to see what it looks like.

 

With mine, we heated it up with a heat gun to add more curvature to it before we painted it. The OEM spoiler is flexible so that should not be an issue. Clean both surfaces and apply. I used 3M Adhesive and wax remover to prep the surfaces.

 

Can anyone give some price ranges on how much it costs to get these m5 spoilers painted?

 

also what year m5 is it form i know a guy in a body shop that can order me one paint it and install it, but what years? thanks.

 

I too was worried about it to but everyone assured me it would stick.

I cleaned the area to be taped with degreaser and lightly set 6" of the spoiler on the trunk, it wasn't lined up right so I had to reposition it. I couldn't believe how much force it took to get off the trunk. I thought for sure it would take the paint off the trunk, though it didn't.

BTW it's only a slight bend, I hung the spoiler between two chairs and left it in the sun for a day and ended up with the perfect contour. Never thought of using a heat gun.

I bought a replica and it's very flexible. I was able to bend it so the two ends were touching. It's been 2 years and no problems.

 

replica here...2 years no problems. i love it and i always get compliments.

mine came black and was about $60 for the paint and install, but i knew the guy...

good luck!

 

i wanted to ask someone who has the m5 lip spoiler, did it help downforce on the rear end at all, i like the spoiler becasue its small and i don't have to drill holes but did it give you any aerodynamic help, well thanks to anyone who answers.

 

Hey guys, I got an M5 spoiler, the replica that is. The thing is really flexible so i have no problem there but each time i spray the damn thing the paint keeps on cracking up . Do you have suggestions or should i go to a high priced place and see what happens after i get them to spray it.

 

I recently had the M5 lip spoiler added to my 01 CLS. It looks awesome! I paid $40 for paint and installation. I'm at work now, but I'll get a pick to post later...

 

if so, it would be very minor an not noticeable.

it's very small so i doubt it...

 

anyones else who has one want to answer, how about a stock spoiler did anyone get one of those installed and did they do anything?

 

anyone else, come on i know people have put the m5 or stock style spoiler on their car.

 

downforce......we dont have rwd, what does it matter?

 

because at 100+ mph the rear end of these cars gets loose, and i want a little downforce to keep it in line, and yes i take it to the race track so thats why i know, i don't do that on the street.

 

Well, I've topped it out with & without it & @ 152 ..... its squirrly either way!

I have the OEM M5 spoiler & just as my friends stated, cleaned the area & used M3 adhesive....not a prob, looks amazing!

 

Can some one post a pic with the M5 spoiler........ I just like to c it.. thx
