Got a roof spoiler
Fraindssss!
So I got a roof spoiler the other day. friend of mine had it sitting around for about a year now, never put it on, painted KH3 and all. Im a little weary about the double sided tape. Ive heard it doesnt hold well.
Anyone have any suggestions about this? Tape only? Silcone or something in conjunction with the double sided tape?
Also as far as the placement, should it go flush with the top of the glass or flush with the edge of the metal.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: and while im here, im looking to upgrade my HID's to a 6000K, ive been looking around but im not entirely clear on what bulbs to look at since this is my first bi-xenon car. I dont want to loose the Hi/Low function, whats a good direct replacement people use, if there is one?

Yes! i do have some adhesive promoter, i have a bit of a lead foot and can be a little crazy at times, i just want to be sure it wont go flying off... not that im saying i do illegal things
do you put the adhesive promoter on the tape itself or on the surface its being applied too?

yeah the tape they give you is no good, my bodyshop used some epoxy to fix it.
i figured you would just look up the bulb guide and replace the bulb for your hid?

Would you possibly have a link to those so I could check them out? $50s not bad at all and 6000k's are just what I'm looking for! You still have the hi and low beam function with this aftermarket set?

well i had my bodyshop paint my roof spoiler and my rear diffuser at the same time so they figured they would install it too. it was left overnight in the garage

interesting, mines painted already and ready to be installed but like i said, im just hesitant about tape only, maybe when i bring my car to get the bumper repaired next month (just touch up and filling the plate holes) ill have them install it while its there

I will get pics of it tomorrow! I'm workin a midnight shift so ill get the extra supplies I need in the morning, do the install then snap a few hopefully!
Thanks for the input guys!
EDIT: change in plans, just gonna let the body shop do it when I get the bumper fixed up. Sexy car Graphite! Absolutely beautiful!
Also, I ended up. Getting vleds 6000k bulbs for the headlights, should be here in a few days!
