Finally received my rear spoiler today
Finally received my rear spoiler from Five Axis today. It's a beautiful thing, flawless. Installed it this evening and looks great. I'd post a picture but we've all seen them many times. Just wanted to say thanks to Five Axis for coming through with a nice looking spoiler for us. Just makes me want to

It is double sided tape, and rather easy to install. Lining it up is the part you want to watch. I suggest using the curve area above the license plate to line it up correctly and center it. also check the ends to make sure you have the same amount of space left on both sides of the trunk lid. Its about 1/4" on each side. (don't quote me). I did it alone but more eyes may help or hurt depending on your friends hahaha.

if you plan on racing i would find a way to anchor. double sided tape will not hold up. i have seen spoilers with tape fly off during hot days, and hot laps.

^ Same, although I hear the F:AD and TRD affix with a 3m tape and an adhesion promoter that ends up taking the paint with it if it comes off at all after being put on?

Be surprised how many higher-end cars have their parts held on with 3M these days. Proper prep and application, as well as using the higher grade 3M, 99% of the time it's fine.
