Good luck with install 2.0
The spoiler looks good from the back hopefully they can get it right this time so it will be perfect from all angles!

Oh well, one thing that I can't blame George Bush for.

Thanks Anthony. The plan to is follow Dranged's advice by taking it off, removing the tape in the areas where it would be visible and reinstalling it. That will happen on Friday morning.
Just remember to add some adhesive in place of the tape - you still want a strong bond.

Great spoiler, but that needs to be removed and reapplied properly.

Scott, the recessed area on the underside of the spoiler is meant to mate up to this area I pinpointed on the trunklid. If you use tape outside this area, it is visible. They may need to use two layers of tape on the recessed area to take up up the recessed gap as well. I would explain this to whoever installed the spoiler and have them redo it. That is just piss poor workmanship.

Scott - subarashi has a great DIY thread which may provide some visual assistance on what you need to tell the installer.
