It'll be okay. Just make sure the surfaces are really, really clean; as mentioned before.

yah 3m tape rocks. i put a roof spoiler on my old 240sx with a clean application of tape, that sucker wont come off, even thru car washing or outside weather its no worry, and the spoiler only tapes onto the rear windshield.

dont want to drill holes to burn bridges in case u dont like it later or someone trys to steal it, better it comes off instead of them prying the hell out of it and damaging ur hatch

From Foresight Japan they cost about $300 to $400 each, then add about another $100 or less for shipping.

That's because coilovers are heavier and require a bigger box.

Origin has a similar item for the FD3S and they recommend in conjunction with high grade double sided tape the use of caulking as well.

I've been reading over this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=aero+package (in preparation for buying a possibly complete Aero package ) and from what I can understand about this flow diagram: Wouldn't the visor/spoiler have a fairly noticable effect as far as "spoiling" goes? Still trying to make sense of what I see so please excuse my ignorance.

I have the Shine one on my FC. I took off the rear S5 spoiler and noticed a change at high speeds. With the roof spoiler, I noticed no difference. I think it's more for looks.

Did you have to trim it at the bottom??

We put Naders on the other day, and when the hatch opens it rubs. Yet we mounted as far down as possible on the hatch (the bottom edge of the spoiler was resting right at the rubber trim of the hatch).

I know it's supposed to be for looks, but again, it looks like it would have a direct affect on the airflow over the car....

Icemark? Aaron? Any input?
