I purchased 3M Indoor/Outdoor super heavy duty mounting tape to mount the OEM Pedestal spoiler.

Is this the same tape that other ppl used on their tC?
Its red and says that maximum load should be 5 lbs.

If this is the right tape, how should i put it on the spoiler because on the bottom of each leg of the spoiler there is a cushioned foam layer. Should i peel the foam off?

any advice is appreciated.

 

not to sure about how to do the tape but i know that the foam is supposed to stay on cause mine has it

 

did u bolt it down...cause i was gonna do that first, but id first have to saw a hole through first layer of metal before being able to reach the drill holes

 

i would think so but i dont know too much about the mounting part...i took it to scion to install that.....i do know mine has a foam layer under it. i know im prolly not much help huh?

 

how much did they charge?

 

about $300.

 

i hope that includes purchasing the spoiler aswell?

i doubt tape would hold it up being that its a bit heavy and has some air moving under it while driving? I would get it drilled but imo i would get rid of it and get the lip spoiler.

 

i agree, drill it. or sell it and get a lip spoiler, the subtle look of it is hot imho. my lip spoiler is held on by the 3m tape and is solid for almost 2 years now.

 

nope...i got fogltghts installed at the same time too
spoiler - $450
install - $300
Fogs - $400
install - $350
Total - $1,500

Thank god my parents payed for it all!!

id bolt them down for reassurance. the factory uses i think black epoxy or something like that. i can see it....

very disappointed i hope it falls off and i get my money back...

 

w0w, you could of saved you parents about $700+ on buying the parts from TRDSparks.com. possible installing both on your own. oh well, live and learn next time.

 

350$ to install oem fogs!

 

I'd drill it too. I'd always be paranoid if I knew it was just on with the 3M tape, although I do know many people do it.
