Niice spoiler, bad install...are you going to reapply the 3M? It appears that it's not adhering to your trunk.

Spoiler is nice but doesn't look installed good at all. Josh, is that you did to yours to eliminate the gap? Sticker looks good.

Thanks. And yeah, do you have any suggestions besides glue or mold? I'm probably going to re-install it and try my best to make the gap go away

I've had kits/spoilers before and the only sure thing that will keep them down is glue. 3M tape is useless in my opinion. Why are people worried about what's under? Unless it's a lease. The other thing is people try to save money buying replicas and most fit like garbage. Then they dont want to spend the money on body work.

alright, but with glue wont that mess up my paint when I remove it? Once I get the real wald spoiler, i'll mold it. This is a temporary spoiler
