I hope you have someone good lined up to fit it... they need to be "adjusted" and glued on... so it becomes a permanent item.

Out of interest... how much was it?

I have someone in mind and read the webpost DIY so cross ya fingers.
Right on 200 Ozzy landed for the Fibreglass one but CF takes your fancy around 400 landed

Better you than me I think. Normally a rear spoiler would be either bolted (OEM) or glued, I am not sure I would trust DS tape to hold it without knowing how much work it really does..
There is the concern of it losing it and blowing $200 + but I would be more concerned about damaging another car or person if it comes off at speed...
I am not too fussed on the Cup spoiler so I won't be going down that track.

Lol...no way I'd double side tape a spoiler onto my car. Especially one that big!

Mate the Spoiler is not light and is bigger than you think. It covers a large surface area and requires careful alignment so that so that it not only matches the gloss panels on each side of the rear windows (which require a bit of modification) or alternatively a light mod to the spoiler itself so it sits flush. The area it sits on is also not flush - see below. You also have to align it to the rear of the roof line so it doesnt catch when the boot is open whilst not leaving too much gap. I dont think tape is going to cut it. The instructions specify a glue/stikaflex bond.

Lol all good just sharing our concerns.;)

I received the spoiler yesterday and i must say that the finish is top notch...no pits or grainy lines in the finish as I have seen with cheap "****". It is heavy which means it is not cheap and hollow.
I cant talk about fitment obviously but measured it all up and it is square and lumps are where they should be etc...
I will endeavour to get the spray done and proceed with pics once I do the R&R.

7 days total post which really impressed me...i thought it would be a month or so.
