Default Spoilers

I just received my rear roof and boot spoiler from OEM.thing and I am blown away by the quality of his paint job and how great of an OEM color match they are. Fitment was on spot too.
MRM 3R1. Shipping was less than a week!!!

I highly recommend OEM.thing from Ebay!

If anyone has tape peaking out the back like mine was (against Obsidian 212 it looks bad) you just have to rip it off and re-tape it and the end in view needs to have the tape placed further back so it isn't as present in view.

I got my tracking number and says delivery on the 6th via fed-ex. I have to give it to them for being half way accross the world they are getting it out to me really fast. I'll post pictures once I get it to see just how good of a color match they did.

i just took a closer look at mine and the tape is showing how do I remove the rear window spoiler now? Rip it with force??? Is there a real way to do it other than that?

Don't just rip it off. lol I find the cleanest way to do it is spray some goo-gone into areas where it will seep down into the tape. And then use some fishing line and using a sawing motion from one side to the other to "cut" the tape. Remove any excess tape on the glass and roof spoiler using goo-gone and a soft scraping tool. An old credit card or something usually works fine. You can use a blade on the spoiler if you want to make it easier and don't mind possibly cutting up the underside

I was using one of those air guns to get rid of little leaves off my car when i sprayed more than a blast on both ends of my roof spoiler. A few minutes later the ends starting coming off and i was like WTF ?? Well the air is so cold that it mustve loosen the glue of the tape where i had to redo the entire spoiler with new 3m tape Might want to give that a try ? GL

Thanks for the advice.
