SLP rear spoiler install

Just got my un painted spoiler. Will drop it off at the paint shop, most likely Burke's Corvette Painting.

How far from the lip do you put the tape. It looks like you put it right next to the raised lip of the spoiler, that is around the whole spoiler.

Just be sure to clean the area real good before you start. My car Is electron blue and the paint matched perfect. But some colors do fade more than others. Good luck!!

Where did you purchase yours from? Mine is Electron Blue also

That's what drives me crazy on here. Somebody can sell crap and have terrible customer service, but since they are a "supporting vendor" nobody is supposed to tell the truth about them! Why don't we just let people sell x-ray glasses and gizmos to hook on your fuel lines to improve gas mileage by 50%? If they were "supporting" vendors then it would have to be true, right? Don't get me wrong, I've purchased tons of stuff on here from the vendors, but I think it's ridiculous that we have to look at them with rose colored glasses.

From: pueblo co

here is a little hint for installing the spoilers...I own a window and door company and have over 12 years+ exp. when I do window reglaze's we use a 3M double sided tape either 1/8'' or 1/16'' tape...after the window frame is clean and fresh new tape is installed I will usually lightly spray some alcohol foam glass cleaner onto the tape just enough to mist the tape, then adjust my unit on the blocks so it fits perfect into the frame...so the same can be true for the spoilers because once the glasscleaner dries it wont affect the performance of the tape in any way shape or form...esp if done out in the sun
