Tekarbon CF Wing Q's

Thisisdudewhoru · 12-13-2010, 01:49 PM

1. How bad do the ends not sit flush?
2. To those of you who've bought recently, do the current ones still not sit flush?
3. Anyone complain about quality of CF or has it began to fade or crack after time?
4. How hard was it to install with the supplied glue?
5. Did anyone use 3m tape to install?

I think that's all I have to ask for now.

I do not know about the Tekarbon wing, but I installed the Original BMW carbon spoiler this week and the ends still do not stay flat on the trunk, there is a gap of around 2-3mm. Can't say about fading and cracking over time, but the weave on the original BMW spoiler is amazing, quality is perfect. I am not sure what kind of glue is supplied with the tekarbon one, but the one that comes with the BMW spoiler is the same as the one used to glue front wind shields, it does take some time to dry (12 hours till the car can move) but when it dries completely in 24+ hours it is stronger than anything. Mine was fixed with duct tape while the glue dried. I know that 3M two sided tape is used for the 6 series spoiler, BUT that one fits perfectly on the trunk and there are no flush ends.
