Installing Mugen Spoiler..

Hey guys,
I'm going to be installing a mugen spoiler as soon as it comes in today. I was wondering exactly what product do you use it to mount it on the trunk. I heard to use a 3M double sides tape. I went to home depot's website, and couldn't find this product. Do you know which product/adhesive to use and where I can get it locally. Thanks.

Kevin

Yes you will also need to remove the lettering on the upper end of the truck since part of the spoiler hangs over the edge. I used very liberal amounts of goo gone to get rid of the sticky residue and then put the spoiler on.

it doesnt come off that easy once applied! you ever try removing the emblems on our cars, its not easy to just "pull" off now pictre that tape the length of the spoiler. and to this day on this forum nobody has had theirs stolen that im aware of

so i go to the store and look around for the tape.. and i see two different types of double sided tape from 3m... ones heavy duty.. and the other is super heavy duty.. Which one should i use? The super heavy duty says that removing the adhesive will leave marks and can destory the surface... which one should i use?

on the outer edge of the trunk, instead of ontop of the trunk, the edge of the wing faces up?

While I agree the OEM spoiler looks better, I got news for you, both spoilers are for cosmetics only.

Call me blind or whatever, but from that picture it does not look like there is anything much different other than the sticker about the Acura logo, probably the picture and the angle, but I can't see all that much difference.

Now if you want to make a statement by being different, get the spoiler of a 70 Plymouth Super Bird grafted to the TL...... now there would be "Different".... hehehe
