oh definitely, not only am i using 3M im gonna probably try to add some extra security on that thing by adding some adhesive or maybe some sealant

ive used this around glass before and its hard to take off depending on how much you put so i dont have to worry about people trying to rip anything off the car.

Looks nice!

Did it come painted, or did you have to paint it yourself?

+1 on the promoter. Cousin of mines used to work at a shop that used it to attach things that couldn't be screwed into place. like roof spoilers. I found a box of this stuff on fleabay for about $1 or more per pad. It's supposed to strenghten the bond of the glue by a lot.

i dont think links are allowed, but search "3m tape promoter" in fleabay. the 3m part number is 6396, comes in packets like rubbing alcohol wipes.

That's not too bad. This is now a very worthy candidate for mods once I get a better flow of $$$.

Thanks!

However aside from that its very clean, very strong and durable. i dont regret buying it at all. I also got the trunk spoiler as well and that is just as good. from what i hear most products made by Origin are strong but dont quote me on that.

any pics? I want to get this roof spoiler too, with a 92-96 spoiler, I think it might be redundant but if it looks good I'm getting it
