Funny how the spoiler sells for 1.99, yet they mention that MSRP is 199. Right.

looks cool
idk if you know this but tinting goes on the inside of the window so it wouldnt effect the spoiler. and hey if it doesnt stay I'm sure you can mod that hatchback civics rear spoiler to fit  lol jk

QUOTE (yarik83 @ Nov 20, 2009 - 5:00 PM) Are you shooting for aerodynamic qualities or visual spoilerlaliciousness? I like that new word you just made.  And yes, I know it's an old reply but nobody else dug it like I did.

Preferably something strong but not permanent? Double-sided tape would be my only suggestion for any non-permanent adhesive. Just make sure and buy good double-sided tape such as 3m, and not any cheap brands, and make sure it's heavy duty & for outdoor use as well. Oh, and as always, make sure and clean the surface of wherever you're sticking the double-sided tape. When cleaning, make sure it has no dirt or anything like that. -hope I helped, Ryan |

Did I ever admit I was wrong from my posts on the first page? I honestly never thought there was a chance this would work, but you made it happen. Looks good dude
