BMW M3 style decklid

Hey guys, have any of you bought the BMW M3 style decklid? I got it off of ebay, although the OEMs were only 50 bucks more - painted...

have you installed this? is there anything i should worry about? do you think it will fly off on the freeway lol.

I dont have it, but those posts Ive read of people who do, the consensus is that it sticks pretty well...If i was in your positoin though, i would add more 3M tape and install when it above 70F outside just to be a bit more on the safe side. I hope this helps! Post pics after you install it!

no it's a trick I tell ya!!

Saw that on ebay too but the thing is it has double sided tape and stick on your trunk. I had two lip one for the trunk and the other on the roof....the roof was one of those I got from ebay...it not too expensive to try but one night some asshole can and ripped off my roof. So if you have petty of money and don't care go with it...otherwise go with the OEM that has both tapes and bolts. Trust me on that!

Just to consider thou...if someone wants to jack your spoiler, and if its not bolted down, theyll get the spoiler and do minimal damage to your trunk, but if its bolted down, those ass****s will keep tryin and trying until theyve severely messed up your trunk....I have the OEM one, just FYI, easy install, but I did not consider this fact of if someone tried to steal it.....Advantage of OEM, is that its OEM!!!! lol! Im picky like that! hahahahaha!

yup...i.e. until some a-hole rips off an oem spoiler and then you have open drill spots....one of my fears w/ my decklid spoiler.
