Bad Ebay Oem Front Splitters

moveswiftly · 10-27-2008, 10:56 PM

Well, I purchased a set of front splitters of ebay. They look great from far away. However, up close they have some gaps and don't flow flush with the body of my car.
What could I possibly do to fix my issue. During installation, I had tried the installation of the splitters twice to see if arranging it a specific way would change it. Any Advice? If i remove the 3m tape will I suffer any paint damage?
Any Solutions?

OMG man that's the worst fitment I have ever seen!!! Sorry to see that dude.

You should send these pictures back to the seller for refund!!!! Vendors here are selling like all the time, why would you do Ebay anywayz?

I bought it from carking tuning he sent me a great OEM rear spoiler. This is just a piece of crap though. I regret ever buying it and am Currently trying to get my money back.
About removing it any advice?Will it come off without any damage

DANG .... Thats really BAD!!
If you can't get your money back then I would try to mold it to the car ...

yamazaho · 10-27-2008, 11:32 PM

huh this is from carking(Brad)? Wow I am surprised, the fitment is horrible. You really need to bring this up to him.

As far as removing, you don't need to worry about pealing the paint off. Just do it slow and you will be fine.

I was actually going to ask if you bought it from CarKing. He use to be a vendor on here. He's really great to deal with, so I don't see a problem getting your money back. Did you install it with 3M? If so, you shouldn't have a problem taking it off.

scooby9 · 10-27-2008, 11:48 PM

Just use a hair dryer to soften up the 3M tape and pull slowly.

punkindrublic · 10-27-2008, 11:51 PM

Yeah man, Carking gave me a lip that was a little off. In the end he refunded me the money.

roadkillrob · 10-28-2008, 09:38 AM

They don't even look like they are made for an E90 - maybe they are E92 splitters - I can't even imagine how you could make something that fit that bad without trying - it has to be the wrong part or something - get your money back and forget about trying to get them to fit, they look horrible and will never fit any better!

montreal red · 10-28-2008, 09:56 AM

3m tape comes off without much residue... its actually really easy to get it off... you wont damage your paint, no worries.. i had my splitters mounted on with 3m and i removed it after a whole year and the paint underneath was perfect after i used some goo gone to clean the residue off.

uberschnell · 10-28-2008, 10:01 AM

I bought a set of e90 splitters from Brad over a year ago. They fit way better then that.
