you prob. didn't follow the instructions all the way.

you need to prep the surface like others have mentioned. you also have to make sure you have given proper time for the tape to bond to both surfaces. this can take a couple days and you need to keep the tape dry during this time.

IMO, this isn't really the type of thing I would want to bolt on anyways. it is such a tiny lip spoiler and the 3m will hold it in place just fine.

a vent shade is mounted vertically. and is ten times heavier than the lip spoiler. the lip spoiler is held on flat and the wind barely touches it being the wind goes over the roof and barely blows over the spoiler. theres no wind pushing it off the car like a vent shade. people have been putting these on there cars since 2005 i believe and no problems at all! its a great addition and gives the back of the car a nice added classy touch!

Ok, After sleeping on it I think I may try it out. A lot of people are saying a lot of good things about it. Here are my final questions before ordering...

For starters I have the RBP and Xenonspecialist doesn't seem to have that color available right now.

There is another seller on ebay, DELSA MOTORSPORTS INTERNATIONAL. They are based out of Canada. Has anyone had any dealings with them?

They want $61.45...thats shipped. Does that sound like a good deal?

Again thanks for the help. Agent

Got my CGP from Delsa, good experience and fast shipping from him since Xenonspecialist didn't respond to my email in over a week.

Hopefully you'll get a quick response from Delsa as well, he got back to me within an hour after I emailed him

Got mine NBP from Delsa. It ships from taiwan so it takes a little longer than i would hav e expected, but otherwise my experience was good. u can definitely tell that it's the exact same color as the OEM black paint. has the exact same blue sparkle in the paint that the rest of the car has.

Just in case you didn't realize, it's polyurethane meaning that it's not a perfect fit, but very flexible to mold right on there and looks super flush (as long as you've got relatively decent taping skills). hahaha
