Tips for installing a carbon fiber lip spoiler?

[One_Supra_1]

I ordered a Rexspeed spoiler off Speed Industry and installed it with the included 3m automotive tape. Prepped the trunk, peeled the tape, and... it somewhat worked. Now I have a spoiler thats completely glued down on the left side and starting to raise pretty badly on the right side.

Im not sure what to do from here, should I just take it off and redo all the tape, or possibly use some other type of adhesive method instead? I might be able to slide another sliver of tape between the raided gap, but im afraid it’ll look wonky when its all said and done. (Preferably nothing permanent)

Take it off and redo the tape. Make sure it's 50 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, apply pressure for a few minutes until it's bonded. Partial bonding occurs within 20 minutes, full bonding sure occur with in 24 hours. I won't drive it until it's fully cured.

You can probably just hit the adhesive with a heat gun for a sec and it will likely do the trick

Did it fit flush without the tape? I know a few of us bought the Rexpeed v4 and had to return it because it didn't fit flush. On mine, the right side didn't fit flush. I tried to put extra tape on that side to resolve but it didn't help and ended up returning. I decided to wait for the 2022 factory carbon version, hopefully it's real carbon this time and doesn't require drilling. If it's more than $1000 I'll probably try the automodz version instead as it seems pretty good.

The black plastic toyota one is close to $1000 so I bet the CF will be that much if not more. That’s also assuming they can release it on time. Lol

Yeah, I'm being hopeful lol. I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer for factory fitment to decide...

very careful and some 3m tape would help. or the molding tape..
