Official Group Buy: MINES Carbon Spoiler Add-On!

ltp · 10-05-2010, 08:10 PM

I received mine today too.
Did a quick fit test and it fits pretty well. The CF goes very well with my black Z.
The only bad thing is the screws are silver instead of black. They don't go with the CF color at all. Definitely have to get some good black aluminum screws before I install them.

going to just unscrew them out and dip em in paint or something lol.

Damn you waste no time at all. let's see some pictures Calvin.
I am very happy how it looks on my black Z - it looks much more aggressive. Can't wait to install it and add 20mm Ichiba spacers on the rear wheels.

FYI, it took me awhile to find a couple places that have the right black screws to replace the ugly original screws. We should let Mines know about this. $800 spoiler comes with ugly screws to ruin the look.

1) This place has the best screws but expensive $5.95 a piece x 6 = $36.00.
They have to order them from Italy which will take 2-3 weeks.

2) This place is more in affordable $0.99 a piece and the screws are pretty good too and will take about 2 weeks to order.

Calvin · 10-06-2010, 07:29 PM

It looks great to me Calvin.

Step 1: Clean your stock spoiler
Step 2: Stick on the 3mm tape provided by Mines. **I attached the 3mm tape on the part of the Mines spoiler where it will touch the side of my stock spoiler**
Step 3: Push the Mines spoiler tight and align it evenly on your stock spoiler.
Step 4: BE CAREFUL. I took a power drilled the screws on lol.
Step 5: Now you may enjoy your long waited Mines spoiler

hopefully this helps for ones who didn't know how to install it. It was really simple xP
