I strongly suggest moving the tape a tiny bit inward toward the center of the spoiler. The result is that you will not see the tape from a horizontal angle. If you put it right on the edge, then the spoiler will stand up on the tape, and not flush on the body.

Clean well, go slowly, use blue "painter's tape" to hold everything in place. Follow the installation instructions about pulling from the center.

Good luck !!!

Thanks for the advice. Your photos are what made me choose this spoiler. Your AE looks great. I hope someday to have mine looking as good as yours.

Thanks !!

I keep mine in the garage as it is NOT my DD.

I do enjoy driving it and do so as often as my schedule and weather permits. I have had several sports cars, and try to keep them showroom clean at all times.

Enjoy yours and keep the wave going.

Good luck

The spoiler will look great on your car. That mod is on my list of ones to do.
