TRE CS Rear Spoiler
Installed the TRE CS spoiler today. Their install video is here:
TRE Trunk Spoiler Install.
I like the splash of contrast against the Brooklyn Grey and it is a quality piece. I prefer its smaller size, but like the verticality of its gurney flap in back over the larger sloped decklid spoilers. I wish someone made one of these spoilers without that middle third-notch that is so popular, but overall I'm quite happy with it.
Install just like all the videos, but rather than fishing line, I used a plastic spatula as well as a heat gun (fishing line kept breaking as well).
First - taped off the stock trunk spoiler.
Second - heat gun and spatula to get it lifted up and once I was able to get fingers underneath just applied upward pressure (quite a bit) and the heat gun along the leading edge and it peeled right up and off.
Next - Cleaned up the excess adhesive with 3M adhesive remover, polished the edge of the lip, used a microfiber cloth, didn't have the fancy polishing wheel thing everyone seems to use. Maybe that would have saved some elbow grease.
Then used the adhesion promoter provided with the kit (careful with that stuff, it etched my clear coat), lined up the lip and installed.
This also arrived today, so will see how well Bimmer Utility plays with the new software update:
