I like! Did you take any pictures of the removal of the old and fitting of the new?

I have a 330 so didn't have any spoiler before.

Thanks, very interested in changing mine to something cf and slightly larger but not sure how easy it is to remove mine first. Was your install easy?

Yes very easy. I followed kies motor sports video took me like 2 minutes.

Kies also has a video of removing the stock spoiler.

Basically just get yourself some microfiber towels, fishing line, heat gun, 70% Alcohol, and a 3M adhesive remover wheel.

This is critical - the adhesive holding on the rear spoiler is nasty nasty stuff - much more difficult to remove the residue vs anything else I have experienced. Your typical goo-gone like product and heat method will take hours here and the wheel takes minutes.

I got mine on sale from Pep Boys for about $25 each. Haven't found them cheaper so stocked up on a few.

+1 I had a Pep Boys coupon and I think delivered it was about $20-$25. Well worth it, happy to have it in my tool box now and only wish I could have had one 30 years ago to save all the time and blisters

I took some photos when removing mine. Wife's hair dryer and dental floss to remove the original. About 30 min to remove. Then the hard part. The original adhesive is like tar. I have done this in the past but removal was way easier. It took 3 hours with 3M adhesive remover to get all the glue off.
