Love the look! just me personally i don’t like the double sided tape method especially if you live in Texas and it’s 100 degrees one day and rains the next. More chances of it getting dirt, chemical oils from detail products and water to eat up that tape over time. Nice video walkthrough tho!
Thanks for this man! I bought the wicker bill for my g8 a couple weeks ago and have been searching left and right and literally looking everywhere as you said for vids on removing the stock spoiler. The wicker bill I got is a direct bolt on, if I'm not mistaken, so a different install but I needed to someone other than a facebook owners advice on removing it!
That was a great video tackling this job . Thanks to you and your video I’ll be doing mine tomorrow. What kind of tail lights are those. They look fantastic! Thanks for your knowledge and sharing it.
@@whiplashtv2022 I was successful in getting the spoiler removed today. Thanks again for a great video. Nice touch on the tail lights. How do you “smoke” the tail lights. Is that like a tint?
@@siimplytwinss3248 that is awesome that you were able to get it off. I should have added that an eraser wheel would be a big help in removing the old adhesive that was holding the spoiler on. I did not have an eraser wheel at the time of shooting the video. I bought these tail lights done this way already. There is companies that make a smoke film that you can put on your tail lights, or you can have them professionally done by a painter.
The spoiler can be purchased at streetdrivenperformance.net and you can use code “savenowb” and get a discount! I don’t have a video on removing the front bumper, but it is pretty easy to. There is a hidden bolt on each side behind the wheel liner and remove the fasteners under the hood that hold it on and then it should come off. Also disconnect the fog lights and marker lights.
My car cam with it already on it. I’m guessing the 1st owner had it put on. I have never seen another with the same G8 side stripe so I left it on. Maybe it was custom made 🤷🏼♂️
He does not do front splitters yet, I have been asking. As soon as he does then I will buy one, will install it, and will do a video. Here is his website. streetdrivenperformance.net
Are these the same as the ones Eric Tau is selling? I’m unfamiliar with the name Vladi but mine just came packaged exactly the same. You got an IG? Went to comment on your fb post but can’t find it now.
If these are the same that Eric Tau is selling, then him and Vladi would have to have the same supplier and I am not sure if that is the case or not. I’ll check my messages here shortly 👍
I like your style. Go nice and slow and line it up just right. I think it diffidently improved the looks. You can really see how much it come up off the trunk from the side shot. I’m also not a big fan of the tape but if it failed I’m sure you would have mentioned it. All around nice job!
Go on the G8 Facebook page and look up Eric Tau. He is the guy selling them on there. I show a picture of one of his ads in the Carbon Fiber Front Splitter video.
It isn’t listed online so I can’t get you a link unfortunately. Eric Tau or Vladi can help you on the “Pontiac G8” Facebook pages. Let them know that you saw it on Whiplash TV!
From Vladi on Facebook or you can check out Streetdrivenperformance.com and see if they have them on the website yet. Tell them that you saw the spoiler here!
Nah, I’ll pass. I like the clean look of not a lot of emblems, and Pontiac is my favorite brand and I’m super sad that GM stopped making them. I know it is “Holden” at it’s roots though.
@lunitunz ok, your orginal comment said “jobs” but I figured that you meant “holes”. No, they don’t have to be filled in because the 3m tape seals around the outside of them. I don’t get any water into the trunk.
Your new carbon fiber spoiler looks Great! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! You’re welcome!

Thanks! Apparently a lot of people have been using the tape without an issue, but I am in the Texas heat so I will let you know if it fails.

I am glad that it helped you! Hopefully your removal and installation went smoothly.
Spoiler/wing installs seem like the should be easy but they never are lol. Great content bro 😎
Right you are! Thanks
Thanks for the video! Just got mine in the mail and needed to figure out how to mount it
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Getting mine very soon. Thanks for the video! Looks awesome by the way!
Awesome! You’ll like it. Thanks!
Your videos are a life saver! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

Thanks, and I am glad that the video could help you! The taillights are actually factory taillights that are smoked and the tops painted body color.

You could probably drill a hole in the bottom of the spoiler and add some rivnuts to it to allow you to bolt it through the factory holes
Yeah, not a bad idea
Do you have a video for removing front bumper and where did you get spoiler for rear

Great vidoes my bro.i need one of these for my g8 great wing yessir ya car sounds and looks great 👍
Thanks a lot!
Where you get that decal on the door of your G8? That is a sick decal dude I like that.
My car cam with it already on it. I’m guessing the 1st owner had it put on. I have never seen another with the same G8 side stripe so I left it on. Maybe it was custom made 🤷🏼♂️
Do you have Vladi info I would like to see if he does front splitters for the g8

@@whiplashtv2022 I believe they are partnered as far as spoilers, and the side skirts. Possibly steering wheels as well.
Yes me and Vladi are partners. I do my own g8 steering wheels though and he's doing some other vehicles.
@@etric412 ok cool. I told Vladi that I want a carbon fiber G8 front splitter next.
@@etric412
Where do I order one if I don’t have Facebook or Instagram?
Looks good!! 👌🏼 I need one!
Thanks! I love it.

Thanks. It is still holding strong today. No issues.
@@whiplashtv2022why didn’t u get the maverick man carbon fiber ?? No 3M
Because 3M tape holds just fine. 0 issues
Man I’ve always preferred the tall joe dirt spoiler.. but to each their own!
I don’t guess I am familiar with the Joe Dirt spoiler….but I am super happy with this one. I am not a wicker bill fan on these cars.
Oh yea that old one had to go , that new one looks super good brendon.! 🔥
Thanks Moises
I’ve been looking for one can’t find it where did you get it??
Go on the G8 Facebook page and look up Eric Tau. He is the guy selling them on there. I show a picture of one of his ads in the Carbon Fiber Front Splitter video.
I actually used a pair of curved long needle nose pliers
That sounds like a good idea. I don’t own a pair of those.
@Whiplash TV bought at harbor freight. Came in very handy
@@urpvtjoy sweet, I’ll have to get a pair
May i have a link to the spoiler please?
It isn’t listed online so I can’t get you a link unfortunately. Eric Tau or Vladi can help you on the “Pontiac G8” Facebook pages. Let them know that you saw it on Whiplash TV!

@@whiplashtv2022 thank you!!
You’re welcome
You should put a holden emblem on it
Nah, I’ll pass. I like the clean look of not a lot of emblems, and Pontiac is my favorite brand and I’m super sad that GM stopped making them. I know it is “Holden” at it’s roots though.
Thank you, I just about ripped mine off the car. 8/24 740pm
You’re welcome!
Do he still sell them??
Yes he does! Look up Eric Tau on the G8 pages on Facebook.
I checked his website he must now have anymore
He does have it. It is a newer piece.
Message Vladi on FB or go to Street Driven Performance and contact them to get the part.
Did you fill the factory holes with anything
The factory holes?
@whiplashtv2022 the holes that held the old spoiler in with the yellow clips. Did you fill those
@lunitunz ok, your orginal comment said “jobs” but I figured that you meant “holes”. No, they don’t have to be filled in because the 3m tape seals around the outside of them. I don’t get any water into the trunk.
@@whiplashtv2022 yeah sorry autocorrect. Thanks for the reply
@lunitunz no problem, you’re welcome.
Whared you get this spoiler?
From streetdrivenperformance.net
@@whiplashtv2022 I don't see the G8 lol
