Was first mod I did to my 2018 Giulia Ti Sport two years ago. I think mine cost ~$130 and quality was super. I was too anxious to get mine on and I failed to do a video. Quality is still great two years plus post install. No signs of tape detachment.... A- OK..... Enjoy !

Hi David, have you had any issues with your rear trunk carbon spoiler after a year?

Hey Moreno, you make a good point. From a 'making it perfect' perspective, doing this live on video was probably not the best idea as I was a little distracted. :-) I have thought about re-doing it. Maybe I should do video about that?

How long did it take to ship to you after ordering?
Your video inspired me to buy this spoiler as well. Did you apply the spoiler with heat (like a hairdryer) ?
@davidchalker804
3 жыл бұрын
While it was about 100° F when I put the spoiler on, I did not use any kind of additional heat. I simply used the 3M tape that had already been applied to the spoiler. I thought the hardest part was lining it up correctly. Glad to hear that you picked one up!
Hello, some updates after months/years of use? :) Quality is the same with sun, rain etc..? 😄

Hi David. I saw you wiped the area with alcohol. The directions indicated that should be done? Just concerned if that is damaging to the paint. Thanks!
@davidchalker804
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sean! Yes, the instructions say to use alcohol to get any dirt or oily substances off. It did not damage the paint or finish. They also recommend using an "adhesion promotor." Since I didn't really know what that was, I didn't use it. After two years the spoiler is still on there as solid as a rock.
How is it holding up under the Texas heat and sun? Looking at one for my Mustang, thanks Dave.

Hi KD, yes, I am still a fan after 4 years and 55k miles. I still love everything about it! I have had zero mechanical issues. I had a few glitchy things early on that were resolved with software updates. The Alfa Romeo dealership has been great. I think these cars are highly underrated and an amazing value. I highly recommend.
Great video! I just received my spoiler, but I'm worried about the chinese tape holding up. Is yours still secure? Did you ever drive it thru an automatic car wash?

No it shouldn’t just slowly use like a strong floss or thin fishing line to floss off the spoiler tape from the hood from one end to the other. Then if there is residue of the 3m tape left on the hood use a any over the counter glue remover solution made for cars. Any auto parts store or Home Depot has them.
I ordered one 4 day's ago but was a bit concerned after seeing some alixpres spoilers being a bit to high compared to Qv, but i checked and i should get the exact same one as you wich look's like the Oem Qv one. Still no tape issue's?

David I just bought the same exact spoiler for $159 on Amazon. I prepped the surface like you did with rubbing alcohol and then applied the adhesion promoter that they supplied. It was a packet that was taped to the plastic that was protecting the carbon fiber spoiler. I have given it three days to fully cure, as that is the case for most 3M tapes. It really is solid as a rock and I don’t think that’s going to go anywhere.. very happy with this product

Not bad but for authenticity why do non quad owners put quad accessories on? Buy a different style so it's unique not copying another model that you could have bought but that's just my opinion.
