i tried this technique today on my Bmw & it worked perfect, I was a little nervous at 1st in case i f**ked it up but ur Technique made it easy peasy 👌🏼, thanks for the video mate.
you don't peel all the red tape backing. you peel the small tip of them and put back the spoiler on the trunk. once it's perfectly positioned, you pull out the red tape backings while the spoiler is in its position.
Planning on installing a similar lip spoiler on my Mazda 6. The spoiler comes with 3m tape but I'm guessing I should get some more and cover the entire underside of the spoiler right?
Thanks! I would say..1. Make sure you use 3M or another high quality double sided tape (you don't want it to fly off) 2. Clean the area well (I used alcohol and it worked well) 3. If you can, do it on a warm day and try not to get it wet for a few days. Other than that, I recommend using tape as a guide to make sure that you line it up good. Thanks!
Good video. Color-matched mine to my white F30 and love the way it looks. Of course it's supposed to rain the next few days so am only able to dry-fit it for now.
Pav W I'm not doing it for looks because I'm not a ricer. I'm doing it because a lip spoiler eliminates rear lift and improves aerodynamics(lowers your coefficient of drag) by eliminating the turbulent air at the end of the car thats created by the shape of a car. That swirling at the end of a spoilerless car creates lift. A spoiler eliminates this improving high speed stability, your fuel economy, and acceleration at speed.
i live in chicago and i have followed these steps plus using a temp gun and adhesive promoter like 7 times and each time the f* thing comes off when its too hot/cold outside so i just used silicone instead of the 3m
Nice. I just bought a white 328i with the sport package, so it has black mirrors, black grill, black exhaust tips and a black trim piece on the rear bumper, and I'm thinking about a black spoiler lip to help set off the rear end.
Thanks so much for your video. It's so helpful ! I just wonder if we Repaint the Car , Should we take off ? If we take off can we buy any alternative 2 sides Stickers to Stick the Spoiler Again ? Many Thanks
Thanks for the video. I was wondering how the spoiler is holding up? I'm going to be in the market for a spoiler soon and was curious about the ones on eBay.
hi brian, im going to but a lip spoiler similar to yours. Is yours gloss black finish or carbon fibre? I hear the gloss black ones can mark when cleaning? What do you think would look best?
Hi, Thanks! Sure, it's not too expensive and it is reversible. Worst case, you could probably leave it on and the dealer most likely wouldn't say anything. You can get the lip for about $100
usually dealers dont even look too closely at lease returns espically if u are getting something new from them. a nice added lip wouldnt even be noticed
i just plasti dip my rims with vht clear coat they look pretty sick i have a question how much did you pay for your spoiler exactly thanks because i saw all different prices thats why I'm asking how much was yours thanks.
Hello! The BMW install instructions have you change the tension spring from position 1 to position 2 after you install the spoiler. Do you know why is that recommended? Why the tension spring? I cant find any info on this. thanks
Kies Motorsports thanks for the reply. But i still have two more questions if you don't mind? I figured it was for something like that, but it is to account for the extra weight due to its heavier on the springs to open the trunk? OR because it's harder for the springs to close it? Lastly What's the easier way/right way to get to the springs without mistreating the inside liner? Thanks again, a lot.
+Kristy Hor Hi, I actually got it on ebay. I posted the seller's username and also some links to the ebay page and his website in the video notes. Hope that helps..
Hey man I noticed you got cream interior, what percentage are your tints? I have a red version of your car with cream interior and trying to figure out what percentage tint I should get since (I think) it gets lighter during the day cause of how the cream reflects with the sun during the day, thanks man!
I've put one black m3 on red 320 then black 330d and now the same spoiler on my dark blue 335d xdrive and done the same with the black grill 3 3 basic when I do jobs myself feels like there going to fall off I underestimate myself .ALWAY HEAT THE 3m TAPE A BIT TOO
Is this the “m4 style” ? Have been searching online but they don’t really show how they look on the car, want this one,this one is thin and look nice and others look bulky 👎
+Jason Xin Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, the tape is super strong. It's 3M automotive tape that you can get it most places. Here is a link www.walmart.com/ip/16913678?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=78&adid=22222222227024071857&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=t&wl3=42974108792&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=81466116752&veh=sem It costs around $7-$10 USD for about 5 feet. As for the spoiler, there is a link in the description that will take you to the eBay listings and the sellers website. Thanks!
No problem. My spoiler had some double sided tape on it, so I just added extra. I think it should be enough if you're using it to add to what's already there, but you may want to pick up an extra roll if yours doesn't come with any. I'd rather have too much over not enough..
Hey man, nice vid! i was wondering what your spoiler is made out of? I've been told that fiberglass doesn't work well with 3m tape, was wondering if yours was polyurethane or fiberglass.
That's a really smart idea with the tape.
+socallaghan01 thanks, I didn't want there to be any chance of it coming loose.
I really like your technique. Very smart! I am going to try it in the next 5 minutes!
Thanks!
i tried this technique today on my Bmw & it worked perfect, I was a little nervous at 1st in case i f**ked it up but ur Technique made it easy peasy 👌🏼, thanks for the video mate.
Kies has come a long way since this video
Sick tutorial Ima try this on my Ford F-150
Just installed on my 4 using your technique. Thanks for making that much easier for me!
Best technique ive seen so far think im going with this one 👍
Awesome guide..... How logical! You have just saved me a trip to BMW to fit the M Performance Spoiler to my M2,
Thanks! Good luck!
Crazy to see how far you've come
Cheers for this from a rainy 🏴
Never thought of using the masking tape as a hinge, great idea!
Used your tape idea for my MB E350....Brilliant!!
Awesome! Glad it worked well for you..
you don't peel all the red tape backing. you peel the small tip of them and put back the spoiler on the trunk. once it's perfectly positioned, you pull out the red tape backings while the spoiler is in its position.
That's also a good method
Planning on installing a similar lip spoiler on my Mazda 6. The spoiler comes with 3m tape but I'm guessing I should get some more and cover the entire underside of the spoiler right?
+AZWZ I would make sure you use plenty on it, just in case. After over a year of having mine, the corners started lifting, only a small amount
Kies Motorsports Thanks for the info!
perfect tutorial brother! especially using the tape as a guide like that. Im doing mine real soon. Any additional tips?
Thanks! I would say..1. Make sure you use 3M or another high quality double sided tape (you don't want it to fly off) 2. Clean the area well (I used alcohol and it worked well) 3. If you can, do it on a warm day and try not to get it wet for a few days. Other than that, I recommend using tape as a guide to make sure that you line it up good.

Nice!
Just followed your steps. The tape idea helped a lot. Thanks!
Great, thanks!
Brilliant! That is the best way I’ve seen so far! Using the tape to line up is very cool. TY
Helped me a lot to figure out a way to install mine in getting it maybe tomorrow
BIG question for you Brian. Is the alcohol isopropyl 99% concentrate or did you dilute it?
Scared about my paint work.
4:37 He wanted to say M3 haha. either way nice job! looks good
+Jack Brand Ha, caught me..
He’s got an M3 now!
Best spoiler install ever!!! Thx
I have the same spoiler on my car and in my opinion it really adds to the cars look.
+Pav W Awesome, I totally agree!

If it’s a hot day and ur cars already af do u still have to use heat gun?
Thanks Man. Followed your advise and I installed my Carbon Fiber spoiler. Fit perfectly. Much Appreciated!
Awesome, glad to hear !
Looks great, do you have a link to this product?
A job well done thank you very much!
Nice vid bro, got a similar lip spoiler for my Passat recently!👍
Nice. I just bought a white 328i with the sport package, so it has black mirrors, black grill, black exhaust tips and a black trim piece on the rear bumper, and I'm thinking about a black spoiler lip to help set off the rear end.
Nice!
Wat kind of tape should I use
Just Install my spoiler today! Thank you for tutorial :D
Sure thing!
Can I not use the heat gun and stick the spoiler on with double sided tape? Will that be an issue?
Could you give us a direct link to the one you bought please, great video btw!
Hey man I have a 328i convertible do you think the lip will be in the way? Lol
Thanks so much for your video. It's so helpful !
I just wonder if we Repaint the Car , Should we take off ? If we take off can we buy any alternative 2 sides Stickers to Stick the Spoiler Again ?
Many Thanks
Thanks for the video. I was wondering how the spoiler is holding up? I'm going to be in the market for a spoiler soon and was curious about the ones on eBay.
Thanks, it's rock solid!
Thanks!
Do you have any pics with whole car? I would like to see how it looks :)
Great video! What thickness of the 3M tape do you suggest?
Does this void the warranty?
Can you use a regular hair dryer instead of a heat gun for this?
hi brian, im going to but a lip spoiler similar to yours. Is yours gloss black finish or carbon fibre? I hear the gloss black ones can mark when cleaning? What do you think would look best?
the spolier come off when you in car wash?
No, it's been rock solid. Once you put it on, give it a few (dry) days to cure and you should be good
thank
excellent looks very sporty , where did you get the spoiler ?? please send me the website.Txs Emanuel South Africa
Does the plastic Bondo tool/spreader scratch the paint?
So wait lip spoilers use an adhesive to stick to the trunk? Hmm I always thought that it was bolted on or something
Great video! I have a leased f30, do you recommend doing it? Will it be hard to take off or scratch.
Hi, Thanks! Sure, it's not too expensive and it is reversible. Worst case, you could probably leave it on and the dealer most likely wouldn't say anything. You can get the lip for about $100
usually dealers dont even look too closely at lease returns espically if u are getting something new from them. a nice added lip wouldnt even be noticed
Will this Spoiler good for Impreza 2010 as well!!
what should I do if my lip starts to come off on the sides a little bit
i just plasti dip my rims with vht clear coat they look pretty sick i have a question how much did you pay for your spoiler exactly thanks because i saw all different prices thats why I'm asking how much was yours thanks.
+louispabon1 Awesome, I think that clear coat does wonders! Mine was about $120. Thanks
I HAVE INSTALLED THE SAME SPOILER, BUT I HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE OPENING OF THE REAR DOOR FROM THE KEY, THERE IS ANY SETTING TO ADJUST THANK YOU
You may need to make the tension on the spring more
How long did it last on the car?
Hi Bryan. Can you tell me the color of your spoiler. Is it Matt Black or #668 Jet Black? Thxs.
Hi, it's Jet Black
Great technique....
Nice spoiler, i have a black carbon fibre one on my white 330d. Where did you get the top you are wearing from?
+Kirk D Hi, thanks! My sweatshirt? It's from Puma.. they have a BMW Line
How has the spoiler and 3m tape fared against the seasons and elements through the past year plus?
Doing great :)
What spoiler is that
Hi, I just installed my carbon fiber spoiler and if I decide to remove it, what should I do, should I just pull it off with my hand or what?
Hi, you need to remove it similar to how you would debadge your car with fishing line, heat and something to remove the tacky residue
My next upgrade, thanks
Great job man!
Thanks!
Is there any chance a jet wash will take it off whilst being cleaned?
You should be okay
What's the manufacturer of the spoiler?
Great job man.😁😁
Hello!
The BMW install instructions have you change the tension spring from position 1 to position 2 after you install the spoiler. Do you know why is that recommended? Why the tension spring? I cant find any info on this.
thanks
It's to account for the extra weight. I didn't do it and it's been fine..
Kies Motorsports thanks for the reply. But i still have two more questions if you don't mind?
I figured it was for something like that, but it is to account for the extra weight due to its heavier on the springs to open the trunk?
OR
because it's harder for the springs to close it?
Lastly
What's the easier way/right way to get to the springs without mistreating the inside liner?
Thanks again, a lot.
Where did you purchase this rear spoiler from? Any problems with it thus far?
+Olivia Heslov hi, I bought it on eBay. No problems at all!
Hey! Quick question. Where'd get the spoiler from??
+Kristy Hor Hi, I actually got it on ebay. I posted the seller's username and also some links to the ebay page and his website in the video notes. Hope that helps..
What was the dry time for full strength?
Can you tell where did you get it? And how much ?
I got it on ebay, but if you get one from www.proautomotion.com, you can save 10% with code KIES10OFF
i bought the BMW carbon fiber one
+ThePoolboy789 Awesome! They look great!
ThePoolboy789 same! Mine should arrive next week and thanks to Kies Motorsports, I know exactly how to install it. Thanks Brian!
Hey man I noticed you got cream interior, what percentage are your tints? I have a red version of your car with cream interior and trying to figure out what percentage tint I should get since (I think) it gets lighter during the day cause of how the cream reflects with the sun during the day, thanks man!
Great Video. Very helpful. Which spoiler did you order from the ebay store? Was it the Matte Black Painted one? Thanks.
+Yvonne Tong Hi, I got the painted one. I heard that the Matte Black scratches easy. Not sure if that's true, but that's what I've read..
Thumbs up on the RVCA hat 👍🏽
Lol, thanks
Great method man ;-)
Where can I find a quality spoiler for a 2014 328i that I can purchase painted? Thanks
Hi, email me at info@kiesmotorsports.com and I can see if my contact can help with that
where can I buy this spoiler??? I have f32
as a professional bmw guider this will add +25 hp
Great job, thanks for the tip
how much is that spoiler? I want to get one for my white Z4. I'm not sold on one's I've found on Google images.
+Will Lowe Hi, I paid under $100 for it on eBay..
Is it still holding good?
Good DIY
Yep! Rock solid. Thanks!
Sweet, I will be using this method to mount my lip spoiler on my f80!
Awesome!
ill be using it on my F13
Good job. ¿What program have you used to cover the license plate?
Hi, I believe it was adobe
Does the spoiler come with its own tape?
Hi, it does, but not enough to do it well
Does it fit on a 640i gran coupe?
I've put one black m3 on red 320 then black 330d and now the same spoiler on my dark blue 335d xdrive and done the same with the black grill 3 3 basic when I do jobs myself feels like there going to fall off I underestimate myself .ALWAY HEAT THE 3m TAPE A BIT TOO
is that a bmw lip ? what are the chances of it falling off?
It's aftermarket and very secure. Just use a lot of 3M molding tape and you should be good.
Price spojler ?
Is it still holding well?
is it okay to use hair dryer instead of heat gun..? :)
+Wonjae Lee Yes, you should be good with that. Let me know how it works out!
Where can get it ?
Thanks bro!
How much cost?
How do we uninstall this? Similar to debadging? Thanks
That's exactly how! It's basically the same molding tape
Is this the “m4 style” ? Have been searching online but they don’t really show how they look on the car, want this one,this one is thin and look nice and others look bulky 👎
looks so cool......Help a lot!!!
nice job man! looks very nice. I just wonder very did u buy the rear spoiler and the tape. what kind of tape is it? will it work solid?
+Jason Xin Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, the tape is super strong. It's 3M automotive tape that you can get it most places. Here is a link www.walmart.com/ip/16913678?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=78&adid=22222222227024071857&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=t&wl3=42974108792&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=81466116752&veh=sem
It costs around $7-$10 USD for about 5 feet. As for the spoiler, there is a link in the description that will take you to the eBay listings and the sellers website. Thanks!
thx a lot bro! 5 feet is enough for the spoiler isnt it?
No problem. My spoiler had some double sided tape on it, so I just added extra. I think it should be enough if you're using it to add to what's already there, but you may want to pick up an extra roll if yours doesn't come with any. I'd rather have too much over not enough..
Is there a reason why you blur out the liscence plate?
so when he drives like fast n furious he won't get caught
duhhhh
lol jk
Lol. My fast and furious days have changed into changing diapers.
I like your jacket...where did you buy it from?
Thanks, it's from Puma
Hey man, nice vid! i was wondering what your spoiler is made out of? I've been told that fiberglass doesn't work well with 3m tape, was wondering if yours was polyurethane or fiberglass.
Hi, I think it's ABS. It's held up great 👍🏼
where did you get this hoodie ? cant find it anymore
I got it at a Puma store.. I don't think they make it any more
can you make a new video how to defuse this spoiler ? :)
+killermillermetin Hi, thanks for watching. Did you mean defuse? Wasn't sure if you meant defuse or wrap..
Looks good
Thanks!
