AznDrftr. · 11-01-2009, 01:37 PM

3m super duty double sided tape. works wonders. Even through washes and on the freeway.

PhilipJdm · 11-01-2009, 11:29 PM

usajdm · 11-01-2009, 11:32 PM

Id try to go with 3m Acrylic Plus PT 1100.
Its designed for automotive panel attachment.

Brand name fitment???????????

This is why I buy knock-offs........

Hmmmmm. They look like they would create more drag than anything.
Vortex generators would be better for that. It might pull air down, but very likely the drag would increase with the increased vacuum (low pressure). Vortex generators swirl and influence additional air into the area with no significant drag penalty. There is allready a significant low pressure back there. But it really isn't clean air. If you have a wing, it works best at the roofline. Clean flowing air under the wing is really important. At least in high speed track applications.

I really dont think that "these" roof spoilers are being sold with any intention on performance upgrade.
I'd say its strickly a "style" enhancement.

I couldn't pull my wing off my old S14 when I was selling it.
All it had was tape.

*kognition* · 11-03-2009, 01:45 PM

They look nice though.

TheRealSy90 · 03-08-2010, 06:53 PM

I think 3M tape will work.

AE_Racer · 03-08-2010, 07:43 PM

nissanfreak317 · 03-08-2010, 08:18 PM

wait... have you tried 3m tape? i think that might work.

moneybags · 03-08-2010, 09:00 PM

I'd say use 3M tape.

KoukiMonsta · 03-08-2010, 09:04 PM

3m tape defiantly will not work

MisawaJason · 03-08-2010, 09:55 PM

Origin fitment in general fails

TheRealSy90 · 03-08-2010, 10:09 PM

^ thats what I was going for

RPS13-604 · 03-08-2010, 11:17 PM

i like how everyone is saying 3m tape in almost every single post but for the origin roof spoiler i find it too thick if i could get do it again i would get a gp sports one looks better

510-SR20DET · 03-10-2010, 02:54 PM

The 3M would work but there is only one problem. Any one can just rip that wing off your roof when you are not looking.

Is this for roof wing or their body kit also? what would you recommend?

Waiting to see a EVO rear window vortex used on a S-chassis.

^ i think it would be a good idea, especially on fastbacks. the rear windshield slope isn't so high, so the boundary layer would probably want to stay attached most of the way down to the rear wing. i may try this out, maybe.
