Depending on the color of he car, people have used "plastic" dowels to fill spoiler holes. Color-matched bumper plugs have been used, but those are noticeable on a decklid. I'm sure there are videos showing ideas.
You think this kind of spoiler would fit on the Infiniti m56?? 🤔
@SpeedCultureStudios
2 жыл бұрын
I think the decklids are quite different, so I would imagine not.
Great video. Quick question, I got my spoiler and I have the tape on order. Is the tape strong to hold through a car wash or do you do a hand wash? I'm just curious before I install. Thanks!

I always suggest to let it sit for a couple of hours before driving. Try to keep it out of rain for 24 hours. If you install during the winter months, I’d suggest keeping it in the garage as long as possible up to 24 hours. I mean a couple hours in a warm garage should be good enough in cold temps, but if you have the time use it.
Would I still be able to go to the car wash?
