Also did you have a shop mount your exhaust tips? I was trying to go quad but 3 different shops didn't think they could do it easily

I will eventually upgrade to the Renegade version... it does not have the fins some of you don't like and it has a cool opening in the center. I initially thought I was ordering a carbon fiber version of the Renegade but did not notice the differences.

The little cut out in the center is a fantastic idea. Makes drainage no issue whatsoever. I left a few gaps in the double sided tape to allow it to drain but that is way better.

Yea, I've posted pics on the random thread.
I had a shop install here in So Cal... they had a hard time but did a good job. There were two other shops who didn't want anything to do with it, lol.

The last shop I went to, are a pretty reputable company for exhausts but he said the amount of work probably wouldn't be worth the cost to do it.
I'm wondering if a bolt on solution might work 🤷🏻*♂️

You would have to measure just right and cut. My shop welded them on and added custom tubing to make it work

Yeah they said the bend is very difficult to do. I was wondering if they cut off the oval shape tube before the oem tip and weld on a circular piece of tube, if it would be easier or more manageable.

I'm enjoying having the spoiler. It seems to be draining without any issues *knock on wood* and adds a bit.

[Russmov]

After I posted these pictures, I noticed the spoiler looked high on the passenger side.
I pulled on it and it popped loose a bit. Needless to say I don't want it flying off if I'm on the highway, so I took it off. I really don't think it would have gone anywhere, it was still extremely strong, just can't take a chance of hurting someone. Going to have to figure out a way to get a better seal.

[Russmov]

I need to find a way to get my spoiler to attach better. It doesn't seem to make complete contact.
I am trying to come up with a way to see where the spoiler isn't touching, and also the exact shape, and adding material to the underside of it.
Anyone have any ideas what I should use?
I was thinking of running a strip of fibreglass on the inside, so I had more surface touching the paint.

[Russmov]

Anyone have any suggestions? I want to reinstall it, just need more surface area touching the paint. I'm just not sure the best way to make a mold of where it sits.
