Just clarifying. Is the 3M tape necessary? How difficult is the spoiler to remove once the tape is applied? I ask because removing the spoiler is an integral part of removing and servicing/repairing the rear bumper cover.

Just make sure you don't use the VHB line/series and you should be fine. VHB stands for Very High Bond. I use it for other industrial application, it is basically permanent. Beware!

Do use one that is waterproof. Can't recommend any (not my product) so hopefully Joe will offer just what you guys need. Often easily removable (slice-able) with a fishing line.

Hi guys, sorry for the delay got a bit busy with orders for some of my other bits. The mold is complete and starting to make parts. Right now I'm in the process of making fixtures to
to assemble the pieces so they all are the same. I hate building snowflakes (everyone is different) one at a time.

The group buy didn't do real well so with your permission may I extend it for a couple of days until my fixtures are made and I'm satisfied all the parts can be made to my standards.

A bit of a price change to the group buy which may get a few more to sign up.

1 - 10 signed up new price $360.00
We already have six so they save 45 dollars. Hope the you guys are OK with saving money if not I will accept the higher amount LOL.

11 and over $306.00

Her's a couple of pictures of the part. The additional piece in the picture of the back side is an insert I am putting in so the ducktail can be taped down to the top of the support.
Sorry I couldn't put this on my car, didn't make it out of the service shop yesterday as planned.


This is where I need the fixture to hold the pieces in the correct position so all the ducktails fit the cars exactly.
