I received mine long time ago .. I just have to install it.

It comes with 2 way tape 3M ..

thats all I put ?
any recommandation ?

clean suface first with alcool ... and then glue it there ?

 

[the415]

yes, clean it very well, then tape it on. did it not come with screws? if not, putting a few into the sides where it wraps around to the fender well won't hurt.

Break out the drill and drill the corresponding holes in your trunk for added security. I'm a neat freak so I would tape the where the holes are going to be, on both sides, top and bottom then center punch where you're going to drill then slowly drill into the trunk. The tapping and tape should keep it from scratching anything. When you remove the tape. if any of the paint is lifted then use some touch-up paint on it. Let it dry then install.

I haven't bought mine yet. But that's the route I'm going. I did the same thing when I installed my hood lifts

i think he's talking about one that goes on a bumper. if not, he should specify that it's a trunk spoiler.

20 bucks says he is talking about the trunk spoiler

he is talking about a trunk spoiler, hence the lip spoiler.

 

[texas2lo]

yeah my bad ... im talking about the trunk spoiler.

Theres no were to drill holes man ... shit looks like its only 3Med.
I saw some 04 mazda 3 with that and its already comeing off ... I think factory its not even drilled

 

[the415]

yeah just clean it really good and 3m it. that's how our side moldings are held on.

 

[SickMazda3]

The factory drills them into the trunk. I had mine put in when I got mine and I remember thinking that if I ever wanted to change the spoiler I would have to bondo.

 

[Retrax]

I had the same thing done. Three holes drilled. Also, the side skirts are held on with clips that are drilled into the rocker panel in addition to the 3m tape.

TExas, clean the trunk surface with friction alcohol then dry with the cloths, wait a couple minutes, stick the trunk lip spoiler on. My dealership does it this way, and it's holding well.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe that's because I just got my front lip painted and was contemplating how to put it on.

I did however install my own trunk spoiler also. It came with all the stuff (minus drill and bits) to drill my own holes and mount the spoiler. Wasn't too hard. When you drill though, I would recommend to put masking tape down first so your bit doesn't walk.
