3000 grit is very fine, can easily be polished out with Meguiars ultimate compound. The step probably isn’t necessary with this spoiler though, as it has such a large surface area that can be covered with tape.

Going to take a fair bit of 3m tape to make sure it's secure

Yes, definitely needs 3M VHB, plus 3M 94 Primer, and of course thoroughly cleaning both surfaces with alcohol first, plus make sure everything is at least 25°C

Think I'd probably be inclined to roughen up both surfaces with 3000 grit wet & dry paper too.

That was his counter to me too. I accepted and just moved on.

Same. For 185 I figured it's not a crazy amount to pay if in the end it sucks lol.

Where did they get these parts? That was 4 months ago and I can’t find them anywhere on the internet!

Wouldn’t the side blades block the light carpet though?

Tried to check their website but wasn't successful finding anything.

They may block the lights

I want that front lip!

I don't think the side blades would block the light. Not really a fan of the side blades though.

It is a nice lip, I’d be worried how it attaches to the bumper though.

The blades do look nice in isolation, but I like how the ACS splitters bring the bottom of the front bumper level with the stock sills, the skirts would then mean the sills are lower again!

All I really want is a front lip that will attach via existing holes as well a 3M tape. I'd prefer not to drill new holes or, like the actual ACS splitters, glue to the bumper.

It looks like those two front supports would need holes drilled in quite a conspicuous area of the bumper.

Did you never fit your ACS splitters?

No, still haven't done the splitters. After hearing that 3D Design has something in development I wanted to hold off and see what they release before putting holes in the bumper.

chicagofan00 · 04-30-2019, 04:43 PM

Btw, I went countered back on the rear spoiler and said that I would only do the £95 since I can get it slightly cheaper via Ali Express...so far no response back on that one.

I like the update to the thread title 🤣. We need a Russian speaking forum member to reach out to them about their parts

Bmock17 · 05-02-2019, 12:11 PM

Has anyone who purchased the rear diffuser received any tracking/shipping information? I paid for mine on Monday and it still says awaiting shipping.

Ok, so then it's not just me. On a side note, I heard back from autobahn Thailand and they told me they wanted $1,850 for the same rear diffuser.
