Lets face it, nobody really wants to spend the $300+ for a spoiler at the dealer; which is probably why I see so many without spoilers, but if you're not an idiot you know that you can buy them online for as little as $100 delivered. So, I've seen alot of threads with people who are trying to figure out whether or not they should drill holes when mounting their spoilers or use the 3M tape.
The purpose of this thread is to get feedback from owners who have had spoilers for the past 4 years since the TC's release :bow: , and as to whether or not their spoiler is still "Hanging in there".
Please tell us simply:
1.Type of Spoiler (OEM Lip, Wing, other)
2.Method of installation. i.e. 3M tape, drilling, other
3.Length of time mounted (How long have you had it on your car?)
4.Problems associated with method of install (Did it fall off after time or come lose?)
5.Would you of done the install any other way now that you have had it for some time?
Please keep feedback to any owner who has had their spoiler on for a period of at least 1 year so that we can see the durability of the installation method used.
Thanks and I hope this is resourceful to all who are inquiring about installation.

I had a OEM CF Lip spoiler, no holes drilled, Just 3M Tape. Was on the car for about a year. And it was a _____ to take off!

Why did you take it off?

not to mention that the factory pedestal spoiler is....whack.
I'm curious to see how long something like a kaminary wing stay up at highway speeds with 3m tape lol

I got bored of the look.

And the only view I really liked was the side view.

Oh yeah, and I hated how it created a puddle when I was washing the car. :P

It just accured to me that you probably were best off with just the 3M tape in the case of theives. My friend had a Celica a few years ago with a huge wing mounted on it, he had it bolted to the trunk. The thieves used a pry bar as in your case but because of the bolts it didn't come off that clean. They tore huge holes in the trunk and dented the whole thing up trying to get it off.
If a theif wants your spoiler they're going to get it no matter what, I'd rather it come off without causing potentially thousands of dollars in damage.

but then i'd be able to get enough $$ for a cf trunk ahahah

We need more feed back from owners please.

i have an OEM style pedestal spoiler on my rs2
ive had it on for about a year now, method of application was drilling holes
dont really care for it too much anymore, my opinion or understanding of "clean" has drastically changed over the past year and a half so if anyone wants to buy it (haha)let me know

If you sell it, what will you do about the holes in your hatch.

take it to a body shop have them fill, sand, and paint and hopefully break even

It would be sick if Viniati made that wing in carbon fiber!!

there is one out
from racing solutions

hmm i checked and cant seem to find it.... anyone got the link??

do you own this tC that you mod or talk about modding?

are you talking to me?? ^^

Please excuse the dirtiness of the car...its been snowing here. This is also just a test fit because Im going to have it cleared before I install it.

How are you going to mount it?

that looks really good hawgs.

Thats a sick lip. What is that?

it looks like the infamous Viniati CF wing! that's the first one i've ever seen!!! I can't wait til i get my regular one!

great choice for yr car :clap: please get "final" pictures
I'm still debating between the cf version and the normal one
I'd love to put the CF on but they broke into my car because of all my cf so i'm a bit skeptical =/

Just an update I finally put my OEM style lip spoiler on 2 weeks ago with 3M tape. I power washed it and drove in the rain and it seems solid.

Ugly spoiler....

Anybody have any experience with the oem syle cf lip spoiler from RacingSolution.com? I am thinking bout getting it but wanna make sure it is gonna fit perfect.

so is that the CF viniati wing or a RS knockoff?
I am still debating on CF or painted

There is no such thing as an RS knockoff -- Its a Viniati fiberglass wrapped in Carbon

Just tape it....
