Default Does anyone know how to install the Origin Labs roof spoiler?

Hey guys, I have a question in regards to installing the Roof spoiler by Origin Labs from Luxurymods.com : http://luxurymods.com/index.asp?Page...ROD&ProdID=403

Did anyone here ever work with it or order it? All it has in the back of it is one hole where it looks like a screw would go but i doubt that there are any screws or drilling involved. Can anyone help me out?

You could probably use all-purpose epoxy. it'll be very hard and ugly to clean up if you ever want to take it off later.

yeah but thats just what im saying, double sided tape can ware away after a while and give loose, plus i dont feel safe having just double sided tape holding it. im going to look into some adhesives for it. im gonna read into the poxy more

Just use the 3M automotive double sided tape. There is a reason toyota uses them on their rainguards and why everyone uses it.

great actually, fitment is perfect, no gaps or anything like that. Seems very sturdy and strong. although when i ordered from luxury mods it SEEMS like it was previously mounted on a car before because there are a few little tiny tiny tiny nail scratches here and there and there is a little dirt debris and dust. 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.
