Ever have any problems with it going at high speeds? I’m wanting to install a trd wing but don’t wanna drill any holes, just using 3m tape but I’m worried about it flying off on my 22 xse lmao
I've been using taped on spoilers since shortly after I bought this car brand new. I haven't had any issues with them coming loose. The trick is making sure you use good tape and properly clean the surfaces. It's best to install it while it's a little warm out.
I'm so torn cause yeah now that you mention it, EVERYONE has the RS style one but it fits the car so well. I currently have the GT Concept one from Duraflex and I love how it looks on my white tC and I've never seen anyone else with one but I've been considering switching to the RS cause it seems like it'll accentuate the boxy style of the car more since it squares off the car more. But then I'd be sacrificing the uniqueness of the GT Concept one 🤔
You could always try finding something completely different and trying that out. Maybe go through ikonmotorsports.com and look at the various wings and spoilers they have and see if you can make one of them work for you.
I had my previous spoiler installed with 3M tape for 5 years. It was pretty much still stuck on there just as well when I went to remove it to install this one.
Hopefully you still read comments, how has it held up over time? I was thinking about getting one for my track car but I’m nervous about it not being bolted in
I may not be putting out a lot of content on here lately, but I do try to keep up with comments. The spoiler is holding up fine through all the seasons. You just need to make sure you use the tape I have linked in the description, have your surfaces properly cleaned, install it when it's warm (or use a heat gun to pre-warm the trunk), and make sure you have it positioned properly so that it sits flush (which is why I have mine set back with a slight overhang).
@@tiramisuu6304 it has been a year and it's held up pretty good honestly i just used adesive for the tape and it sticker better in my opinion i did have to retape it once though .
For years if done correctly. I had my last one taped on for years and it was difficult to remove without using high tension fishing wire because of how well it held on.
Hi i drive tesla model 3, im looking into a no drill needed gt wing, the shop said i can use 3m tape or silicone, im thinking of doing the same thing u did, i was wondering how its holding right now? Since this video was 11 months ago
I'm not sure about a wing that doesn't have a large foot print for taping it to the trunk and that sits higher up in the airflow stream. It might work, but I would honestly think about bolting it down.
No. If you use the tape I recommend, clean surfaces properly, and apply it as shown, it will be fine. I've used tape for two spoilers since 2017, as well as multiple friends' spoilers, without any trouble.
@@VampyreX13hey I just wana say I did the exact same thing on my 1LT Camaro and I absolutely love it so much it’s so unique and different. I wanted to come back and thank you because it went amazing! I wish you could show you lol
@@micahyee1518 just make sure you clean the surfaces properly and everything is sitting flush. I've been using 3M taped spoilers for years without issues.
Did you use the recommended VHB 3M tape I have linked? I never trust the supplied tape with parts. Also, you need to make sure the surface is properly clean and that the spoiler is positioned so that it's sitting flush with the trunk so that the tape has full contact. I've been driving around for years with taped on spoilers without any problems.
@@VampyreX13 I clean the surface, used a heat gun to warm the surface, then held it firmly until it was in place. The only thing I can think of is it wasn’t completely flush with my trunk, I also used the factory 3m tape.
Not being flush and using normal 3M tape instead of VHB tape would cause it to come off. I have mine set back with a slight overhang so that the tape had full contact with the trunk.
I was going to do this, but in person it doesn’t look as good, specially from the side, it’s too low so the car, the car’s rear is very thick looking and this spoiler it’s just too elegant it just doesn’t fit the style, I did make money of it tho, I bought it used for $30 on Facebook and sold it for $80 to a Corolla owner, big spoilers look better on this car because of how aggressive and wide looking this car is.
It's definitely not for everyone. I actually like the size and it doesn't interfere with my rear wiper when I lift it up. If I look in my sideview mirrors, the angle of the winglets match the slope of the sides of the car.
Finally a video of someone who installed a spoiler with 3m tape! Thank you so much!
I was thinking of doing this for a while now but was just waiting for funds to come in. Good to see how it looks before I install.
You should spray the fins and base of the spoiler body color!
And thanks for uploading!
Love the camry spoiler on my TC
I actually have the sti wing on my tc but the trd spoiler was a good first option I had too
Where’d you get the STI wing?
@@WheelerDealer1561 i got it from Ebay
Hello again magic tC man
Bro your videos are always detailed and has good information. Oh I can’t find a greddy exhaust for my tc
Unfortunately, you can only find it used since it was discontinued.

Do I have to drill any holes to put the spoiler on my 23 Camry Le? It looks nice and I want it
I wouldn't think so.

Would you know anything about porting the "Pedestal" wing from the first gen tC to the second gen?
I have no experience with that. Sorry.
How long does adhesive spoilers last?

How long did u waiting for you to drive it ? I'm planning on doing this to my camry se
About an hour.
planning on doing this to my SE as well. How has it held up?
@@tiramisuu6304 it has been a year and it's held up pretty good honestly i just used adesive for the tape and it sticker better in my opinion i did have to retape it once though .
Have you driven it at high speed with the spoilers? I wanna make sure it can hold up before buying.
Definitely yes. It's on there securely.
taped on spoiler, uh... i dunno how long that will last.
For years if done correctly. I had my last one taped on for years and it was difficult to remove without using high tension fishing wire because of how well it held on.
How did it hold up with the tape?
@offTurbo still holding up fine.
what 3m tape you use.. because theres a lot of kinds in the store.i dont know which one is better.thank you
I have the link to the tape in my video description.
Just checking in again, how does the spoiler still hold up with just the 3m tape?
Still holding up fine.
@@VampyreX13 awesome! Thanks man, love the car
Hi i drive tesla model 3, im looking into a no drill needed gt wing, the shop said i can use 3m tape or silicone, im thinking of doing the same thing u did, i was wondering how its holding right now? Since this video was 11 months ago
It's still holding up strong. I had my last spoiler also attached with 3M tape for a few years without any problems.
Hey, have you tested the amperage for that high output alternator you installed? Want to know that power output is at Idle
No, I haven't. I'll look into testing it sometime.
i have a mugen wing 1 piece would that tape be strong enough to hold it?
i would tape the each side only
I'm not sure about a wing that doesn't have a large foot print for taping it to the trunk and that sits higher up in the airflow stream. It might work, but I would honestly think about bolting it down.
Hey Derrick, what rear window visor do you have?
It's just a simple rubber strip spoiler I found eBay. It's gone up in price since I got it, but the listing is www.ebay.com/itm/183758303812.
What do you do about the holes from the last spoiler?
The last spoiler was also taped on.
What year of Camry is the spoiler from?
It's a thicker copy of the 2020-2022 TRD Camry wing.
My friends keep telling me my spoiler will fall off if it’s a stick on. Is that true??
No. If you use the tape I recommend, clean surfaces properly, and apply it as shown, it will be fine. I've used tape for two spoilers since 2017, as well as multiple friends' spoilers, without any trouble.
@@VampyreX13 thank you so very much for the response! I have a 2017 1LT Camaro do you think I could get this same spoiler on it as well?
@smodenaruto that, I can't say. Just make sure it's positioned so the center part and pillars all sit flush on the trunk lid.
@@VampyreX13 gotcha thank you so much
@@VampyreX13hey I just wana say I did the exact same thing on my 1LT Camaro and I absolutely love it so much it’s so unique and different. I wanted to come back and thank you because it went amazing! I wish you could show you lol
Will it hold up in a car wash ?
Yes.
No screws or drilling? Why’s that?
Not everyone wants to drill into their trunk and proper 3M mounting tape does a great job keeping this mounted in place on it's own.
@@VampyreX13 ahhh gotcha. I was just curious as I see that’s what most people do. Since 3M mounting tape works, I’d much rather go that route
@@micahyee1518 just make sure you clean the surfaces properly and everything is sitting flush. I've been using 3M taped spoilers for years without issues.
Would this fit on 2022 Honda Civic ?
Check around and see if any other civics have it installed. I took a gamble when I got mine since I had no idea if it would work or not.
I bought one of these and it flew off my car going 70 mph on 95

It's definitely not for everyone. I actually like the size and it doesn't interfere with my rear wiper when I lift it up. If I look in my sideview mirrors, the angle of the winglets match the slope of the sides of the car.
