Just got a lip spoiler that was supposed to be mounted with screws but didn't want to drill into my trunk. This video was EXACTLY what I needed! Good work man!
Got advice from an auto body expert because I also didn't want to drill holes into my trunk lid to install the spoiler. First thing you need to do is to use sandpaper and rough up the bottom of the spoiler, Then you need to use a degreaser like R-M 900 to clean off the spoiler. Once that is done you need to use an adhesion promoter like 3M 4298 on the spoiler before sticking on the double sided tape. Make sure you try to cover as much of the spoiler with double stick tape as you can. DO NOT use the tape provided with the spoiler. Make sure you use 3M Super Strength Molding Tape it will say ideal for attaching vehicle body side moldings, trim and emblems. You also need to do these steps on the trunk lid. Use sandpaper or a brillo pad to rough up the paint on the trunk lid. You don't want to take off too much paint. Just scratch it up slightly. Clean with a degreaser, then use an adhesion promoter. Peel off all the double stick tape covering all at once and place it on the trunk lid correctly the first time. Its best to use a second person to install because you only get one chance. Once the spoiler is on the trunk lid press down firmly and use a microfiber cloth to push down and move along the top of the spoiler to fully seat to the lid. Use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat up the tape along the edges of the spoiler. Wait 72 hours for the tape to fully cure before you drive in the rain or carwash. Your spoiler should stay on permanently now!!
I put side scoops on my Mustang without sanding anything. I did exactly what the author of this video did. Although the side scoops aren’t on a moving part, like a trunk lid. However, my side scoops have gravity and wind (driving fast too!). They have stayed completely in place for 10 years, without screws or sanding. I did exactly what Romanian Thunder did.
Scuffing up the underside of the spoiler I might try but not the vehicle clear coat unless ur 100% positive it will not be changed. And if u do choose to scuff the clear coat mask the sides of the area with tape so u don’t go outside if what the spoiler will cover. One thing I’d do differently from the video is apply tape to the sides and bottom edge like the first piece so dirt etc won’t get underneath
I kindly request that you bear in mind that I am a common individual who was experimenting with the use of UA-cam at the time. As such, I respectfully ask that you employ this information judiciously and prudently.
Awesome, i just got a spoiler from the same company to add to my gf optima.. i have on my sonata a carbon fiber one and it been holding on pretty good with the 3m tape..about 3 years now..i did just remove it to have the carbon fiber re done.. nice job man.
I did everything exactly as you did here and the outside edges of the spoiler came loose after a couple of weeks. Use the hidden bolt kit that came with the spoiler and do it right!
Warming the 3M tape with a constantly moving heat gun will make a big improvement in adhesion also. Use caution -- DO NOT overheat the spoiler or it may warp!
Hi, I know it's been 7yrs since making this video, I just bought a 2016 Chrysler 300S, I just want to know if you remember who or what company that you bought the spoiler from. Thanks
Interesting that you did *NOT* run the tap _ALLLLL_ the way to the ends, as the ends/tips is where it is apt to curl up or not rest flush on the trunk deck. Did you own the car long enough to see if the results held up?
hey Romanian thunder, how has it held up since you frist put this on. I am going to do mine the same way but first I want to know if it will hold up. thanks for the video.
it's on there good. I installed this last year in August. Made it through the Cold Missouri winter and hot summer. I power wash my car all the time and it dosnt effect it.
scott hughes I have the same problem and it lifts on the edges. I have a 300 too. I took it off and reinstalled it but I started lifting again. Have you drilled yours in yet?
I'm about to install this spoiler on my 300 as well. Can you tell me how well it is mounted? It's a daily driver and I just don't want to have any issues in the winter with it coming loose or anything.
Thanks for responding. I put the spoiler on a little over a week ago. I did exactly what you did in your video. It looks like its holding ok but the ends of the spoiler look like they have a gap between the spoiler and the trunk. Have you had this issue?
will the tape peel the paint if the spoiler ever needs to come off? i just bought a spoiler for my alfa romeo giulia and i will be using tape to apply it
@@RomanianThunder ... I was just about to ask if you still had it on there. I was concerned about carwashes. But obviously u still have it on a year later. So I guess I can try this for my 2016 Chrysler 300C. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏾
The best way to remove it is to clean around the edges really well and use wd-40 and 20lb fishing line. Won't leave a mark and the little bit of tape left over can be removed with a microfiber cloth and wd-40

I typed the color code in a message to the seller on ebay. Some of them even have the lists of colors for your car and their codes on the ebay listing. Pretty simple. Got my wing recently and looking forward to installing it
I just used this method well I had someone else do it for me but doesn’t seem as flush as it should on one end maybe tape wasn’t lined right.. what happens if water seeps in because this tape is a bitch to take off and do it over
Who wants me to make a follow up video showing the durability after one year?
Is it still on ??
Luis Corona yes it’s still on with no problems
Does the trunk still open up when you use the remote??
@@MrWillDock yes
RT ... Nice Car .. What Rims are those ??? Brand & Model # ....Thank you

Very Nice, But a bit overkill imo

The reason I got an adhesive spoiler is so I didn't have to damage my car. TF you mean "sand down your trunk." That's insanity.
Five year old video and really helped me a lot today. Thanks bro
The best part is when he starts pacing at the end cause the damn thing came out good as heck ! Looks perfect 👌🏻
Also make sure its not cold out your trunk should be warm.
Im going to be installing one on my challenger this exact same way, great video man 👍
Amazing instructions! I can’t wait to apply my spoiler now
I kindly request that you bear in mind that I am a common individual who was experimenting with the use of UA-cam at the time. As such, I respectfully ask that you employ this information judiciously and prudently.
I’m glad you guys enjoyed this video!
Honestly I did not expect it to turn out so well. Great job and content!
Great Job For 1st.FIRST UA-cam Video!Really Good,Explained Everything at Least Twice.Thumbs Up For Sure. Keep The Video's Coming!!!
I got the same spoiler for my 300 and I drilled 3 small holes and also used the 3m tape I wouldn’t trust that tape alone for a rear spoiler
Where did you purchase your spoiler?
Awesome, i just got a spoiler from the same company to add to my gf optima.. i have on my sonata a carbon fiber one and it been holding on pretty good with the 3m tape..about 3 years now..i did just remove it to have the carbon fiber re done.. nice job man.
That was a good job I took your advice on every step I’m doing my own thank you
Great idea man saves the drilling that could lead to rust later on
The hump at the end 😭😭😭😭 #pause. Thanks for the video, hooking up my Tesla spoiler today.
u did it?
I did everything exactly as you did here and the outside edges of the spoiler came loose after a couple of weeks. Use the hidden bolt kit that came with the spoiler and do it right!
Same here. Had mine bolted on as well.
Where did you purchase your spoiler?
Thanks for the video man. Just what I was looking for
pretty good tutorial man. cant wait to try this out soon
Thanks for the tutorial and the followup video a year later man, helped me a bunch! I'm gonna tackle this installation pretty soon!
Great vid!! I just installed a spoiler my 2015 300S. It was quick and easy! Thanks!!
Send me pictures on Instagram. instagram.com/romanian_thunder94/
Great video man! Very thorough explanation 👌🏼
Watched your video, and it helped me. Thank you
Update on mine, i used this same tape cleaned everything made sure it was warm and one side is already starting to lift 😢 im gonna have to re do it.
Quick tip. People are following a guide, you already have their attention. Background music isn't necessary.
How's the spoiler holding up? Thinking of doing the same for mine bc I don't wanna drill into the trunk either
nice job man, surprised this video doesn't have more views
Because he doesn't have specifics of vehicle in the title...
Dude this video was the answer to all my questions, I have a Chrysler myself I’m really interested in future projects you have 😉 out here from Cali
Good Luck Brother!!! Upload your videos!
Thank you bro ! Cant wait to Install mine on the 300s as well !
Outstanding Job
Great video tbh bro thank you so much.
LOOKS GOOD...
Very good we need u.stay with us.
Aye my romanian brother🇷🇴🇷🇴
Im doing this tomorrow! Thanks❤
Hell yeah Mann that looks dope...
Great video, boutta go get some 3m tape right now
how has it held up in the rain? Since theres room and cracks where the rain can get in, has it affected the spoiler?
@BB8IDEN he has a follow up video from over a year later showing the spoiler still on, stuck fast with no problems
Are u having any loosening problems after using 3m tape. That’s a sweet look I want it lol
Which 3m doubleside tape you use there's many heavy duty tape for exterior outdoor and performance??
Good video! But when would you connect the reverse wires? Before or after spoiler installation?
Great video! New sub🤙🏼
Good job. Looks great
thank you for this
Nice application
How are the ends holding up, because sometimes that part starts popping up after time
Warming the 3M tape with a constantly moving heat gun will make a big improvement in adhesion also. Use caution -- DO NOT overheat the spoiler or it may warp!
Nice, thanks for giving me confidence,,,,how about the front lip?
Nice I brought 300s and want to do the same thing
Hi, I know it's been 7yrs since making this video, I just bought a 2016 Chrysler 300S, I just want to know if you remember who or what company that you bought the spoiler from. Thanks
DO YOU still have the car?
Interesting that you did *NOT* run the tap _ALLLLL_ the way to the ends, as the ends/tips is where it is apt to curl up or not rest flush on the trunk deck. Did you own the car long enough to see if the results held up?
Do your follow up video. I'm curious. Looks good bud 👍
hey Romanian thunder, how has it held up since you frist put this on. I am going to do mine the same way but first I want to know if it will hold up. thanks for the video.
Richard Roberts that’s what I’m wondering. After a typical American summer and winter how does the tape hold up.
it's on there good. I installed this last year in August. Made it through the Cold Missouri winter and hot summer. I power wash my car all the time and it dosnt effect it.
It's held up great!!! I live in St. Louis Missouri where it is hot as hell in the summers and ice cold in the winters.
@@RomanianThunder hey I live there!
I did mine about 2 years ago and after about 4 months it started lifting on the corners, I’m about to remove it and install with hardware
scott hughes I have the same problem and it lifts on the edges. I have a 300 too. I took it off and reinstalled it but I started lifting again. Have you drilled yours in yet?
Do you guys recommend Mountain a STI rear window spoiler with double-sided tape? I want to install this on my WRX but I don't want to drill any holes
I'm about to install this spoiler on my 300 as well. Can you tell me how well it is mounted? It's a daily driver and I just don't want to have any issues in the winter with it coming loose or anything.
I have no problems. Make sure your paint is clean. The 3M foam tape is super strong.
Thanks for responding. I put the spoiler on a little over a week ago. I did exactly what you did in your video. It looks like its holding ok but the ends of the spoiler look like they have a gap between the spoiler and the trunk. Have you had this issue?
The gap is normal.
That's what mine did as well!
The gap IS NOT NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE!
Car Wash and Freeway Driving does it last
This tape works fine. Dont drill holes in your car.
5 years later....did you have any problem with the spoiler coming off the trunk lid?
This won’t come off when taken to a carwash drive through ???
Nope! I power wash my car. Its been on there for almost a year without problems
Correct, if you clean and prepare the surface you should not have any problems. I power wash my car every week.
Supreme!
Where did you get your spoiler exactly from !?
eBay, search by car model.
What going through a car wash or washing the car how long will that tape last ?
Does it Hold with air Wash and freeway driving????
Bad ass car
Would it not be better to clay bar the surface first then apply the alcohol ?.
will the tape peel the paint if the spoiler ever needs to come off? i just bought a spoiler for my alfa romeo giulia and i will be using tape to apply it
I never had to remove it and I have no plans to remove it. It should be permanent. I had it installed on my car for a year now with no problems.
@@RomanianThunder ... I was just about to ask if you still had it on there. I was concerned about carwashes. But obviously u still have it on a year later. So I guess I can try this for my 2016 Chrysler 300C. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏾
The best way to remove it is to clean around the edges really well and use wd-40 and 20lb fishing line. Won't leave a mark and the little bit of tape left over can be removed with a microfiber cloth and wd-40
Does that tape hold for a larger lid spoiler ?
how long did you leave it for until you took for a drive?
what wideness is it half or one inch??
I did this to my Beamer but I got a spoiler for the civic but it kind of sticks up in the air idk if the double sided tape will for for it will it lol
It has worked for me brother!

How is going? the spoiler still holds up?
How do you choose color when ordering ?
Alejandro Villegas Check the manufactures sticker located on the drivers side for your cars paint code.
Romanian Thunder and you type that in where? On message to seller ?

@@RomanianThunder thanks for making the vid, made it look real easy
I just used this method well I had someone else do it for me but doesn’t seem as flush as it should on one end maybe tape wasn’t lined right.. what happens if water seeps in because this tape is a bitch to take off and do it over
How well does 3m tape stick to chrome?
like clean paint
Nice fiat
lousy job should put tape on the rear and also, now moisture and dirt is coming uner the spoiler...
How has it held up ?
Great!
This guy's just letting the hose run while he's filming...SMH....
I’d be worried doing this and going to the car wash
can you send the link please??? need one ASAP
Link's are in the descriptions
Ok can u do mine now
Use a BUCKET BRUD...!
lots of manfs only use tape to put on body panels....oB
Fitting instructions good. Spoiler looks wank to me.
You really should blur your address homie
Can I incorporate gorilla glue?
No, your going to destroy your car bro!
Just came across this bc im getting a spoiler, but it’s only rated for 2018 and lower I got a 2019 🥹
