After heating it up to make it flexible I would really consider keeping some hard pressure on the left, right, and center for a good 2-3 hours (or overnight). The last thing you want is for that thing to come flying off at high speed or to slowly pop-up at the corners. I'm debating buying the ACS spoiler + roof combo myself as I'm not too fond of my "whale wing" anymore. (Thanks a lot for the complex, C!)

Sure! Type in PSTHIRTY in the coupon code section during checkout. Other coupons don't stack, I tried to no avail .

Duly noted, thanks! I have to remount my trunk spoiler as well. I used a silicone adhesive for that one but I didn't tape it nearly well enough or hard enough after I put it on so the left side came loose. The right side is stuck though, hope some heat and dental floss can saw through the adhesive.

What kind of silicone did you use? I heard the RTV black or something like that works well for these types of applications.
