I just got a cf spoiler for my cf trunk and i am wondering if there are anythings i should look out for when drilling into the cf trunk.

any advice? or should i just drill nice and easy and go for it.

i was told if done wrong it could stress the peice enough to crack.

lemme know fellas!

 

G/L with that. I want to get a c/f truck with a matching spoiler but im afraid of messing the trunk up. There's only one person i know who has a c/f trunk with a matching oem c/f spoiler and it look so sick.

 

very sharp bit, tape off where you are drilling, go slow with very little pressure

 

heres an idea, klumzyee just told me i should just double side tape the whole spoiler, then seal the rear with some black liquid sealant for the clean flush look, i like this idea, any downfall you guys can see?

 

oh god, i didnt see your post when i posted that lol, guess i shouldnt use that name around you. haha.

 

When I drill plexi glass and lexan at work we drill multiple holes at low RPMS, start off with a small pilot hole and increase the bit size as you go along...DEFINITELY TAPE OFF WHERE YOUR DRILLING...another safety precaution is to lubricate the whole your drilling with anti freeze...GL

 

thanks for the tips, tape is a must, but useing stepped drill bits from small to larger is a good idea, if i drill, ill use this method.

 

leave it to Eric(pecker head) to recommend double surface tape. We live in Florida, CF is more black than anything , so that said, the heat will more than likely allow the glue to release....poof there goes the spoiler at 80 mph.

 

tape it off and definitely use a small bit first and gradualy increase
-GP-

 

+1 for starting with a tiny bit and working your way up. go slow with steady pressure.

 

the best way to do this is not to mess up

+1 on not taping it...that doesnt seem like it would hold up in the heat
