That came out great!! I have a compressor and spray gun but prefer the rattle can mixed from my local paint shop..under $50 bucks and amazing DIY achievement. Like u said its a daily.. I call any blemishes "beauty marks".. gives the car character 👍🏽
Eventually I will be buying a junker to rebuild and when that happens I will def Need to get a compressor setup running but for individual parts the cans do work just fine. Beauty marks haha, I like that!
Looks good, I can't wait to see how the bodykit looks installed!
Yeah man, it’s gonna be legit when I finally get it on!
This is the best duckbill I’ve seen on the market for the price! looks perfect 👌🏾👌🏾
Yeah I love mine!

Man you’re good at what you do! Flawless, and looks great. Great video!
I appreciate that brother! Thanks for stopping by and hope you stick around for what’s to come!
that looks epic cant wait to get mine also didn’t realize i had all the tools to do this myself thx for da vid
No prob bro it’s an easy job to do just take your time and have fun!
Wow 🤩 this video just made my decision to not spend so much on the carbon one and I have the same color Q also great job 👏🏽 liked and subscribed 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sweet,saving money is good! Give the duckbill a search on eBay. I just saw it listed there by the company last night.
alex vallejo also since you are a k23 guy, check out the chrome delete video I have as well. There is a vinyl in that video I used that matches our paint code damn near exact.
i thot about getting this it but i love bolt ons so im gonna adapt a g37 bolt on kit in to the q50 instea of what ur doing and suffer a little more doing fabrications lmao also amazing vids man !!!!

am gonna get this and just see how it fits on the car and edit it as i need to to get a complete fit
Oh ok nice! good luck with the project man!!
Awesome vid man, thanks!!
No problem, I appreciate the view and am glad it was helpful!
Love your videos man. Car is coming along nicely too! I had a question though... I just got my Krotov duckbill spoiler in yesterday and dropped it off at my local paint guy today. Should be ready mid-week and I need to find the best double sided tape to use to make sure it stays on. What tape did you use on yours? I'm leaning towards 3M VHB 5952 so far... Thanks in advance
Nice add me on Instagram so I can see the end result, _foxcraze! Anyway as for the VHB yes that tape will be great to use, that is what I plan to use for the wide body panels. I used the 3m 1” wide automotive tape from autozone for my duckbill and it’s not moved an inch. But I would have used the VHB if I knew the difference at the time!!
Foxcraze I followed you on Instagram. vr_30_ddtt is my handle if you wanna follow back.
I appreciate the quick answer bud! I just ordered the VHB tape this morning. Will be here tomorrow. Gotta love Amazon! LOL
it looks good! The paint match was pretty close actually. Was that just a generic can of grey?
Thanks a lot! That was actually a custom mixed and filled can of color matched k23. Car Quest and many other auto body supply shops will mix it for you to spray if you have the code!
Dude. Why have I been sleeping on you?
You're about to get some dumb questions in your inbox.
This is a great video. Put some work in and get sick results. I like it. I need a duck bill for my suby...
Fire away man haha, I love answering questions.
Damn bro that’s fire asf
Thanks man!
Wing looks awesome! Does anyone know if this krotov wing fits on an 2018 q50?
It will fit, the top of the trunk is same shape in all years. The difference is in the tail light buckets and the delete of the lower trim panel under license plate.
I just installed this on mine and I feel like the top corners and the sides won’t stick at all. I even used adhesive promoter and it never goes flush. Any tips?
It could have warped in shipment. Heating the corners and lips then applying pressure till it cools will reshape the abs to your trunks contours!
Damn bro looks really good
Thanks man!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey man, I know this is an old video and I have yet to catch up, but I was wondering, would the front cameras from the oem grille work with this blitz bumper? I’m not sure if it’s as simply as swapping the old grille into the new bumper, or if modifications would have to be done.
The grille is mounted to the stock bumper with hardware and would transition to a blitz bumper easily.
@@Foxcraze can’t wait to see when you install the full kit!
Yo I’m bout to order the duck bill for my Jetta. How long did it take to ship to ur house?
Mine took 7 months but that’s because I bought it as a preorder before it was even produced. They average 2-4 weeks now due to Covid.
Where do you get the paint and how do you make sure it’s the same color?
The paint can be purchased online or at a paint store where paint mixing for automotive paint is done. Mine was bought at an advanced auto parts that had a paint mixing section. You give them the color code of the vehicle and they will mix it to match based on that code. The newer the car the better that match will be due to sun fade and all that affecting the original color.
What paint and clear coat did ya use ??? It look awesome
I had the paint color matched and put into aerosol cans at advance auto parts near me that had a paint mixing station in the back. I purchased the spraymax2k clear gloss from them as well. I appreciate the feedback!
@@Foxcraze u think the single step 2k spray max will work?
So the clear needs to be 2k not 1k and have the hardener included. 1K clear doesn’t harden like automotive grade clear does and it will be prone to damage easier. If the lid has a red plug on top of it then you are good to go.
How long did the kit take to get to your house mines is taking forever
Mine took about 4-5 months. Everything is delayed when it’s coming from over seas currently. I’m sure the waiting sucks but it will come. They have a good response time when being messaged on Instagram. Hit them up on there and enquire as to what the status is; if you haven’t already.
I was looking into that same body kit did you decide to go with another look or never got the time to do it all ?
Still waiting, turned out it isn’t very first timer diy friendly. I have an idea how I’m doing it just gotta find time.
Meaning it’s not doable for one person over a weekend.
@@Foxcraze okay that’s good to know I was planning on doing it myself now I know. Appreciate the response I’ll be keeping up with the build!
You may be better off than I am at doing this and knock it out quickly. My issue isn’t nothing with the kit because it fits wonderfully. What I don’t want to do is use rivets or screws but I also didn’t want to permanently bond it to the car in the event of a collision, the likely hood of the kit being repairable is greatly increased. That said the kit doesn’t sit flush enough in all areas to be bonded with tape so I’m still working a solution.
How long did it take to arrive? I just bought the Krotov spoiler
Mine took months because I was the first one to buy it and the mold wasn’t even produced yet. I am hearing from other who have bought that it was only a few weeks wait now!
Where did you get your rear windshield spoiler? Would you be able to send me the link?
I bought it on eBay unfortunately the vendor I bought from is gone but this is the same one I believe.
www.ebay.com/itm/153451514612
How did it hold up with just the 3m?
Hasn’t moved at all!
How abour adhe promotor?
Since it is made of a fairly rigid plastic, I didn’t use any and have had zero issues with chipping or peel.
Other question it is this abs plastic ? Cause i saw in ebay this kind of wing but in fiber glass
The Krotov wing is abs plastic. If you’re seeing a fiberglass version on eBay then it’s a mold of the original and will prob not fit well.
What paint did you use for this?
I bought spraymax base and spraymax 2k clear coat. My local advanced auto has a paint mixing station in the back and all they need it your paint code.
@@Foxcraze just off the shelf primer?
Yeah automotive rustoleum brand works great
Thank you sir. You're amazing
@@joshadolphsen4767 no prob, glad to help!
I know about these guys
They are a legit group. They also rebranded to Krotov wide body kits recently.
