CF spoiler install in the bay area?

xlb · 05-05-2017, 12:53 PM

Bought an oem cf spoiler for my e92, but I'm the least crafty person in the world and don't trust myself with a DIY on this. I called one shop and was quoted $150. Are there places that would do this for cheaper? $150 seems awfully steep for applying some tape correctly

Performance Technic did a great job on mine, for a very fair price. They used betalink, as I preferred that over tape for a trunk piece. For my front splitters, they used 3M + screws.

$150 sounds fair. It's more work than you think. Removing the oem spoiler, removing the old tape, cleaning up the tape/trunk, aligning the new spoiler and then finally mounting it. If it's not done correctly your spoiler will be flying off once you hit the freeway. It took me about half a day to install mine properly.

Oh oops - for some reason I just assumed that the cf spoiler just went over the oem spoiler. Now it makes sense

the OEM way to attach is not with tape, its with urethane adhesive which is messy to work with if you are not experienced. that being said, you can DIY with tape...

Before i decided to DIY i was quoted $60 to install w/ 3M tape at a shop down here in socal. If the shop is charging that much, id assume it was with the beta link because its much more involved and easier to screw up.

I just purchased a CF diffuser and a CF spoiler. What exactly do I need to mount it and do it myself?
