How are you guys installing it. With the supplied tape? Adding extra glue?
3m is supplied. No glue for me. I just used 3M adhesive promoter on the tape where it attaches to the spoiler. The 3M tapes stick to the trunk well without any promoter. Before you install it keep test fitting it while bending it to shape.

Mine just arrived today. I sanded the bottom of the spoiler to get rid of the over spray and for the tape to bind better. Then I heated up the spoiler and curved it so it's easier to install. Going to wait for a hot day to install it.
Hey everyone. I recently ordered a trunk lip on eBay (cheapest one) and decided to make a review to help everyone out.
THE PRODUCT:
The cheapest trunk lip I've seen for the 3IS and I love the look and for a $55 price tag for a painted trunk lip, I had to pull the trigger. Here is the link.
THE ORDER:
I ordered the trunk lip on September 28 and sent the seller a message with my car's color name and paint code. I was quoted an estimated delivery time of Oct. 21 - Oct. 29. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received a Fed-Ex package on Oct. 9. My trunk lip arrived packaged very professionally and carefully in order to not damage it. I opened the package and from first glance, knew it was great. The quality was 10/10 and the paint work was 10/10 too. Although the trunk lip is flexible, I flexed as far as possible and the paint remained perfect. The 3M double tape was included and there was even extra just in case you mess up putting it on.
INSTALLATION:
The first thing I did was pull my car out into the hot SoCal sun and let the trunk heat up to allow the double tape to stick better. I then Krazy Glued the 3M double tape to the trunk lip as the quality of the trunk lip would not allow the double tape to stick well to it. The double tape did stick extremely well to the trunk with no gluing required. I measured the placement and began slowly installing the flexible trunk spoiler from one end to the other. I slowly removed the double tape's backing as I went. The pamphlet included in my package recommended using a heat gun for installation but did not specify whether the heat gun was okay for painted trunk lips or non painted only. No heat was required and the trunk lip curved perfectly with the trunk. After installing, I gave the trunk lip a quick wax and was finished.
THE FINAL LOOK:
Here are a couple close up pictures of the paint match and quality.
Anyway, thanks for checking my review out and if you have questions or anything, shoot me a PM.

So this thing rules, here are my pics. But before I do that, many have asked about carbon fiber, and they do offer it in carbon fiber, it's just $100 more, so I ordered black and couldn't be happier. But here is the link you if you want the carbon fiber spoiler:
