Pure sex mate.
I've been hanging out for photo's of the install, well done!
I like the look too :)
Anyway here's a pic of the adhesive left behind when pulling off the Modulo spoiler. The left side is the one where Hornsby Honda had removed the backing tape hence the adhesive double sided tape was stuck on and left a lot of marks. The right side however was glue alone (and the relevant screws) hence why it was alot cleaner.

For the 3M tape residue, try use zippo fluid to clean it :) Or maybe petro might work too. Use a fine wool cloth to rub it.Quote:

or the marks leftover from the previous spoiler?
Does the mugen spoiler sit the same way or cover more surface area than the modulo spoiler? As long as its same or more, itll hide the different paint shadeQuote:

Not sure TBH.. Will find out but I think it's just standard stuff. They did use official Honda touchup paint though.
Here's another shot when the adhesive hadn't been removed properly...

And here's a few more shots after it was installed (hope this motivates you). I need to get car buffed out. Alot of marks become obvious when it's clean and in the sun.

Someone else told me I have too many Mugen badges now (since there's one on each side of the Wing plus the one I put on the bootlid). Maybe it's time to go clean and debadge it?
