Hello,

I ordered a rear spoiler of the IS350 and I want to know and have your advice on fixing it, what you attach to the States ?????

Thank you for your answers

A little hello from France : )

 

I just taped it on.

 

3M tape....

 

Yeah i just got mine today and idk about the 3M tape that comes on there, i rather have it screwed in

 

3M tape that holds up to 5lbs will do the trick. Can be usually found at your local hardware or office supply store. It is a good alternative for individuals who don't want to drill or screw into their trunk.

 

Is my OEM rear spoiler screwed on?

 

^^ I believe so, i picked one up today from the dealer and it had the screws on it 3 to be exact... so i would guess they would screw them in from factory.

 

Yep most oem spoilers are screwed on. But yeah use only 3M tapes. Cause thats what most of use used. And plus my wald spoiler is huge and the tape is doing its job pretty damn well. GL

 

The one's that come from the factory with the car when purchased are always screwed on. What I meant to imply is that individuals who have purchased an OEM spoiler, after purchasing an IS without an OEM spoiler are usually 50/50 in deciding whether or not to screw or just use 3M double sided tape to attach their spoiler.

 

For those who have theirs taped on, does it flex or bend when you put pressure on it? Like if you were waxing and applying a little force? Or if someone happened to lean on it? If it does bend, does that open it up to some cracks where water can enter in and fester? Just curious.

 

^^ nope its perfect. Well i can tell because my roof spoiler is still attach to the car. When you install anything with 3M tape i would suggest letting it heal for a week before you decide to wash your car to be on the safe side.

 

I agree with letting the 3M tape sit attached to the "piece" and car for a few days before a car wash. Letting it sit in the sun for a few days also helps a lot in my opinion.

 

+ 1 on the 3M tape mine came with it already in place and is holding up great....

 

screwed for me
