OK, I know this isn't earth shattering or a custom job, but I finally got my rear spoiler installed. It's been sitting in the garage for 6 months or so and I finally got it on. Just had to post some pics for show.

Did you drill it in?

 

It looks like your set up is a little easier for drilling, if you did.

Congrats.

If anyone wants to do it and does not want to drill, what I used is VHB tape that they use on aircraft and then after it cured I went around the edges with translucent phenoseal. It ain't going anywhere. You can lean on the bastard.....

 

Yes, it's drilled in. It came with templates and all the fasteners.

 

It wasn't hard. Your method sounds good too. I had no problem with drilling because I'm never taking it off.

 

See, I didn't want to drill into mine, so I put mine on with 3M. It's stable, but there's a bit of a gap. I've lost my templates, but I have all of the hardware. I was thinking of biting the bullet and drilling it when it warms up.

 

at first, i used 3m automotive tape (red stuff). after a month, and several hot days, it got weak and i could easly move it up and down.(not good) but instead of using the supplied hardware and instructions, i just used some thick sheet metal scews and just zipped em into the holes in the spoiler, then i put some silicone around them in case rust ever decided to develope there. this makes for a much more stiffer fitment than tape alone (i left the tape intact)

 

Congrats on the new spoiler! I drilled mine down for that extra security.

 

It made perfect sense to me too!

 

Me too

I got my spoiler for 35 bux in black from yellow sub brand new in the box
and had my buddy spray it camo green for me

 

i seriously miss my stock spoiler sometimes just for the fact that it was just so plain and simple. nastalgia is kicking. good 'ol memories lol, looks good bro. like i was tols in elementary school K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid.

 

I like the stock one too. It is a conservative add on, which matches my personality.

 

How much is the average price of an OEM sproiler?

 

i've been seeing them on Ebay lately for around a hundie.

 

Is $90 for a bnew OEM rear sproiler a good deal? Im a newbie about xB so i got to ask before i buy it.

 

I'd say that's a pretty good price. It was something like $275 from the dealer.

 

I got mine brand new in the Toyota box for $100, prepainted. If you can get one for $90 that's good.

 

were did you git it for 90? was it pre painted. cuz i need a camo green one

 

Thanks for the replies. Yes its prepainted TCM. A guy selling it bnew in box.
