i have been interested in getting that vortex generators for my evo viii. on evomoto it says that its taped on with 3m tape. im wondering if this will hold, ive had bad experiences with 3m double side tape and my friends the same problems. it doesnt last.... im also wondering if anyone had any problem with it? thanks guys!

 

Installed right - no issues.

 

Just make sure you do it when its above 60F and low humidity. Its also a good idea to strip the wax off the paint where the tape will be.

 

Definitely use prep. I put a trunk spoiler on without prepping it well and it fell off 3 days later. Lesson learned.

 

What do you mean by "prep"? Like the above one said stip the wax?

 

Mine has been on quite awhile with no problems.

 

you need to wipe this 3m wipe stuff (i forget what its exactly called) where the tape is going to be it will never come off after that.

 

the oem ones are held on that way

just clean the surface well and take your time

 

where did u get yours? evomoto as well?

 

does anyone know where i can get this 3m wipe and/or what its called?

and...after using that wipe does it affect the car in any way...if i EVER plan to remove the vortex generators


Extreme DSM where did u get your VG evomoto?

 

go to your local auto parts place. goo gone will take the tape right off.

 

make sure your roof is cleaned...that means no wax etc... let it settle for 24 hours first. To test the VG just pull up on the fins and if it doesnt budge its not going anywhere. We have painted VG's on sale if anyones interested

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Excellent choice. I used some alcohol wipes to clean the surface before applying the vortex generator to the roof. It's stuck like chuck now.

 

Had mine for about 2 years. No problems.

 

yeah me to never had a problem yet lol
