Mounting rear spoiler

[wleehendrick]

What's recommended for attaching the FFR rear spoiler? I would prefer not to use visible fasteners and was thinking a good double sided tape like 3M VHB. It's pricey, but strong enough to hold the windows in a skyscraper!

just to confirm - are you talking about the "Street Spoiler" from FFR? (the little lip spoiler)

I don't have an answer for you, but thinking the clarification may help the person who does have the answer.

Yes, the street spoiler pictured here:

obviously not the race wing!

Thanks,

Have you called FFR?

Not yet... I saw rivets in the galley photos, so assumed that's what they'd recommend. That's what I want to avoid.

Thanks, Dan. 3M double sided VHB tape is what I was looking at. Just wanted to validate my choice.

I got the 'street spoiler' pictured in post 3, not the race wing. After test fitting it to the rear fascia, I'm not happy with the abrupt cut lines, therefore I'm going to hold off mounting until I'm doing final bodywork, so I can round off the edges and make it look more finished.

abrupt and crooked, like mine?

not really crooked, but an abrupt right angle cut that doesn't blend with the body panel. I want to bevel the edge to smooth the transition, then wrap in faux carbon fiber before mounting.

I dont remember quite what the race wing looks like. Link? Is it a park bench like one would assume?

Yeah, the big one on the R, it needs to be rigidly attached to the frame, not body:

I'm considering water dipped CF... or it will be wrapped

Are you referring to hydrographics? I've seen that on TV, but haven't looked around for a service.

No bueno price on the race wing
