How To Install 3 Piece RK Sport Wing W/o Drilling holes

All you need is 2 rolls of the widest 3M tape autozone carrys, painters tape, goo gone, micro fiber cloth, and paper towles


Start off with having a wingless trunk!
(the holes on your low rise and high rise will not be covered with this wing!!)




Next is take one piece by piece and set it in place on where its going to be sitting and take the painters tape and mark where it will be





Now take the Goo Gone (i used like this extra strength goo gone stuff my friend gave me)
and put it onto a paper towel and fully wipe down every part inside where you have taped off
Make sure to take a dry paper towel and as you wipe on the goo gone on, take the dry towel and wipe it off
you want to take all waz off the paint for the 3M tape to stick

Do the same thing under the RK Sport Wing


Next step is load as much ******* 3M tape onto the Wing.
Make sure you get into every corner!!!





Allright now take off all the painters tape on the car and take the microfiber cloth and wipe down the whole thing. Peel off the 3M tape off the middle piece, IT HAS TO GO ON FIRST. i found the easyest way was to use a razor knife to catch a corner on the tape on the wing

Make sure it sits even with the ends of the trunk lid AND REAR BRAKE LIGHT
when you have it on there press down on every part of it, i used the microfiber cloth and put all my weight onto the corners for a good few min to make sure it sat flush

now do the same thing for both corners








Make sure everything looks straight and Congrats! you have installed the wing!!
(of you want to take it off, you need to do the same thing as for taking off a highrise or lowrise, take a hair dryer and heat from the inside the trunk lid and peel it off)


Heres a link to pics of it outside and me driving

Adhesion promoter on the trunk before installing the spoiler would double the sticking power!

That thing isn't going anywhere with that amount of tape on there. You could use half that amount and still be safe.

I can almost guarantee that it wouldn't fit, it'd need to be modified to make it work... how much I don't know. But it would look decent once on there.
