Can someone take a moment to take of the picture of the roof spoiler from the back seat? I'm curious how the tape looks from the inside.

Thanks in advance!

You can tape around the perimeter of the spoiler... some people don't do the bottom edge because you can see the tape.

What do you mean by picture from the back seat? The tape isn't noticeable at all from the inside, well atleast not to me because I'm tinted 5% in the rear windows.

Take a look at page 29 in this thread... I posted how I did it there with pictures.

for those with tinted rear windows and removed the roof spoiler, did the 3M tape mess up your tint? just worried 3/4 years down the road when it comes off or I need to remove it, it doesn't ruin the tint as well.

Tints are applied from the inside of the vehicle not outside. They only use the outside for measurements

Got one from Ebay also and the TP color match was great, install was a breeze, I get asked about it all the time, like where did I get from, who painted it and installed?

Hey dudes, just installed mine from oem.thing. Gotta say, fit and finish is very impressive for an ebay item. Here's a bunch of pics from the install. Haven't seen it in direct sunlight, but the color(202) seems to be spot on.











And to the guys asking about the spoiler being visible from the inside window, I'd say it's a nonissue. I tried taking a pic and it wasn't showing anything worth posting.
