Quick question for IS owners that have the Lexon Roof Spoiler, did your spoiler come with instructions and mounting hardware from Lexon ? IIRC, the spoiler is mounted with 3M double sided tape ? I assumed that instructions and the mounting tape would be shipped with the spoiler, am I mistaken ? I did have my spoiler painted to match the body, so it could be that the paint shop lost the extra pieces . . . TIA

You have to supply your own double sided tape. I used the one used by OEM manufacturers for cladding and spoilers. It is more heavy duty than that you will find at Home Depot or Lowes. Wouldn't want that expensive rascal flying off.
It's only one piece ..... no instructions required. Tape it up, center it and slap it on. If you have an assistant that will help.

JD, where and how much did you get yours, if you don't mind sharing? I am considering on getting the ones from ebay but I'm not sure how good the quality on that one is. Thanks.

Thanks Ultimax & Evitzee, for a second I thought I got hosed. For a genuine Lexon product, you figure there'd be more to it than just bubblewrap. . .
Evitzee, which tape did you use ? Is it the gray 3M with red backing ? I agree that for 5 cnotes, I don't want this baby to fly off on the freeway. . .

FYI,
I used 2 strips of the thick 3M Automotive Application double sided tape down the middle. For each end, I used 1 thick strip and 2 thin strips. Installing was a PITA, but it turned out great. I recommend you not to drive the car or get the tape wet until approx 8 hours for the tape to cure.
Remember to use 3M Wax Tar & Greese remover and then 3M Ahesive Promoter.

^^^ Thanks for the tip. Hmmm, looks like I'll have to buy some more auto supplies, I don't think the 3m tape I have is going to be stout enough. After a quick browse, I never realized 3m made sooo many double-sided adhesive tapes for auto applications, sheeesh . . .
