Just installed mine from OEM.thing. Got the OEM trunk spoiler and the roof spoiler package deal. SGM is perfect match. Fitment is good. Can't beat the price. Also, shipping was FAST. Received it 10 days after ordering, although ebay said expect it 2-3 weeks from when I got it.

I received 2 full rolls of the 3M tape from OEM.thing with the spoilers. I just stuck it around the perimeter of each spoiler then lined them up and pushed. Easiest thing I've ever added to a car.

i hope you used adhesive promoter first, or it will come loose, mine did and i had to re apply it using new 3m tape with adhesive promter first, and now it does not budge at all. had it on the car for over 1 year and still holding strong. first install came off in 6 months or less. GL

Installing a roof spoiler is probably of the most easiest mod you can do on your car. Using the right material (3M acrylic plus attachment tape) and preparation is the key.

Make sure you clean the surface area with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Apply 3M's adhesion promoter on the surface to increase the bonding between the glass and the pressure sensitive tape adhesive. Place the spoiler. Apply even pressure on the spoiler and let it dry out in the sun.

Is the adhesion promoter for the roof spoiler only? Or are you guys recommending it for the OEM trunk lip spoiler as well?

oem.thing +1

colour perfect match for tp.....i think any colour other than the white has good match

fitment i'd say is 99% ok for the roof spoiler, trunk spoiler is perfect

i wouldn't use the tape it comes with, i took it off and used my own....maybe others have used it and it's fine but i chose to use my own 3m adhesive

it ships from taiwan so takes a while but still shipped pretty fast
not to mention they had lowest price on ebay.CA
