Bah, I am trying to position it. But I think I might need sunlight :O
Any tips? I currently and just using blue painters tape to hold it in place, but yea once I get perfect fitment how the heck do I make sure it stays that way when I take it off to pull the tape![Frown](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Once I pull the protective tape, and put it on my car, can you or cant you move it any more? Does that glue/tape have some sort of cure time?
Like I could pull the protective film, stick it on the best I can, then move it a little bit to position it the way I want?
Thanks

Ill keep it on for now, if it still bothers me down the road ill redo it.

But it looks good as is...
for me (on my car) the imperfections are only annoying at first - then they are totally ignored and forgotten they are there... I'd redo everything over and over if I couldn't learn to live with it

You'll move on to the next mod and totally forget about this one...

so for all those wondering what the right measurement is, i believe it's 1162mm. i came to this conclusion based on the following:
saolin43 ordered 1160mm or 45.669" and noted that it's "about" 1/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/8". so 45.669" + 0.125" = 45.794" - this is on the high end...
thescreensavers ordered 1155.7mm or 45.5" and noted that it was 2/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/4". so 45.5" + 0.25" = 45.75"
screensaver's comment seemed more exact seeing how saolin said "about". either way, convert everything to mm and saolin is saying it should be 1163.18mm. and screensaver is saying it should be 1162.05mm. keep things simple and say 1162mm, which is 45.748" as opposed to the 45.75" (better to be conservative). so worst case you're off by 0.02" which isn't even noticeable.
hope that makes sense!

yea hard to say since everyone gave guesstimates. i agree better to go bigger but if you see saolin's pics, 1160 looks awfully close... alot of it also depends on where you place the spoiler. i'd imagine if you went to the very edge as opposed to 1mm in would make a difference as the trunk probably tapers.
