Question on CF upper splitter fitment

knepsterd · 04-22-2018, 01:47 PM

I bought these and installed with double sided tape.
The issue on both sides is the tapered tip does not sit flush.
I tried using VHB 3M red backed tape but at .46mm it is a bit thick and causes the splitter point to not be flush.
What epoxy or glue would one suggest that would bond almost immeeiately as clamping it is not possible. I know it will pull paint off when I remove but it really looks like shit not being flushed at the end.

I landed up trimming the bottom back of the cover to get it flush

That's horrible fitment but betalink might help

Betalink sounds like a nightmare in itself. I would be too afraid that I let it drip or ooze out somewhere. That stuff is tough to work with from what I hear
