How to Install a Rear Lip Spoiler

A rear lip spoiler mounts under the rear bumper cover and extends the length of the bumper cover. This gives the car a custom look, makes the car appear lower and if used in conjunction with side skirts and a front lip spoiler, the entire car will appear much lower. Body shops will install rear lip spoilers but at a high price. Learn how to install a rear lip spoiler for yourself and save money.

Things You'll Need

• Drill
• Screws/bolts
• Double-sided tape
• Rubbing alcohol
• Rag
• Measuring tape
• Marking pen

Instructions

1. Read directions that may have come with the rear lip spoiler. Some lip spoilers come with a mounting kit but most don't.

2. Measure how long the rear lip spoiler is and then measure and mark exactly where you want it to be mounted under the rear bumper cover.

3. Clean the area under the bumper cover and on the rear lip spoiler with rubbing alcohol and a rag.

4. Apply the double-sided tape to the rear lip spoiler. Place the spoiler on the bumper cover in the area you marked. Press firmly. Double-sided tape alone will not hold the rear lip spoiler to the car, but it will keep the spoiler in place between bolts/screws to keep any gaps from forming.

5. Use the drill and drill through the holes in the rear lip spoiler and into the bumper cover. Mount the screws or bolts in these holes for added strength.
