Local shop for M3 Lip Spoiler installation..? (betalink)

TwnTrboCAT1212 · 07-31-2009, 09:02 AM

Hey guys, unfortunatley my M3 Lip came with betalink instead of the common, pre-applied 3M adhesive which I would have easily installed myself but because its the glue, I don't want to make a sloppy attempt at installing it myself cause it will certainly come out like crap. Does anyone know of a place in Mass. or NH. that could throw it on well for me? I called Turner but they're like 2 weeks out for appointments. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks,

I dunno, cause I'd prefer the glue adhesive since it's more permanent and reliable than the 3M...not to mention there won't be Any little gaps with the glue cause it will sit lower. In addition, I'm not sure how much of the tape to cut, how much of it to use, where the best place to put in on the spoiler is, etc.

Give Phil Jr. a call at Sansossio. Tell him Rob sent you, he should be able to work out a good deal for you.

I purchased the 3M from Home Depot and installed it myself. It's definitely not perfect, but it definitely ain't going anywhere. It's stuck on there pretty good.

i would #m it for sure man. i 3M'd the lip on my audi and its been on ther great for four years. with the betalink, removal is pretty much impossible, so if you ever decide to take it off ur screwed.

I 3med my M3 lip. Cost was only 5 bucks for the tape and it is super easy. Just cut the tape out in sections for the proper angle. Clean off the top of the trunk, and then have a friend help you center the lip on. BAM you are done. Mine looks great! GL
