Managed to get my hands on an ebay roof visor/spoiler! Contrary to all opinions in other threads this thing wasn't easy to install alone... But at least, the fitment is really good, although stupid me managed to stick it on a bit off centre kindasad.gif



What's your thoughts? It's slightly more to the right than its supposed to. I'm really thinking about pulling it off and re-aligning, but its easier said than done as that double sided stuff its got on it looks like a real pain to undo!!!

hahha, yeah it was quite a pain lining it up. I accidentally stuck it on while lining up and part of the tape lost it's stickiness. finally took it off and retaped it this year. looks good though. get a shot from the rear. hopefully it's not off by too much.

I'll get a snap as soon as I can. It's not sideways or anything, just a bit offset to the right for about 7mm, but I can tell you it was really tedious to line up the screw holes afterwards, so much as I had to bend one of the fitting brackets to make it work.. Unfortunately i even managed to scratch the clear coat quite a bit, but at least its now covered by the visor itself. The trunk window washer really gives it away if you look closely.

Just how did you manage to pull it off? I've tried to pry it off but I was scared of breaking the visor so I left it as is for now. Might try to redo it as soon as I find a way to take it off. Maybe cut the double sided tape with some fishing line or something?

I have one of the HiC TRD Roof Spoiler Replicas too. Lol.


Yep, HiC - they could at least provided *some* tips to install it correctly the first time around!
