Looks good, I was supposed to drop mine off at the painters today but Western Michigan decided that it needed another massive snow storm. I wasn't about to drive across town in heavy snow and freezing rain. Maybe Monday.

Surface prep and compression are important during the initial mounting. Too cold is also an issue.

Even though it was 42F when I mounted mine, I left the wing and rear of the car in direct sunlight for 3hrs or so. Surface was very warm to the touch, wing was more flexible, tape was pliable.

After mounting, I used painters tape to maintain compression at 3 points across the middle and at both edges, then pulled the car into the garage to let the tape cool and cure. No issues whatsoever in the week since I mounted the wing. Temps have ranged from 0's-50's F, rain and snow and wind and salt.....

We'll see when it heats up if I have adhesion issues, but it is already fully cured so I doubt I will have problems.

Temperature in Southern California is not an issue during this time of the year. During the daytime its around in the 70s. I will try again and follow your instructions. Thanks.

Temp can be an issue if you allow the adhesive to heat back up and loosen before fully cured.

2 questions: Are you still thinking of doing another batch/round of the mid-wing GB, and secondly...does this same place you're sourcing them from sell that rear diffuser/valence in the first pic? It looks awesome.

I do plan on ordering more. I want to do this GB different. I want to order them first without people paying for them. If I can get another 10-15 people that wants to pay up front I will order them. Also they do have the rear. I will check on pricing for you.

Alrighty. I'm looking at a bunch of options, so don't count too firmly on me. But, I will be keeping my eyes here... Especially since the price of the mid-wing was pretty decent the first time around.
