Thanks!
I have a fire orange M3, and the previous owner included a carbon fiber spoiler lip not installed, can you believe a shop tried to charge me $200 dollars for installation when it took me maybe an hour of elbow grease? Bruh
We aware part of the resistance !!
Hahaha the mirror cap goes flying “oops” 😂😂😂😂😂 you crack me up man I love your videos
xX ON3GOD Xx hahaha thanks man. I don’t like to take these things too seriously.
I know this video is old but just in case others see this. You can use a 3M Eraser Wheel to remove the leftover adhesive. It's amazing! I just removed my F80 "mini" spoiler and installed a CS trunk spoiler! Cheers!
You’re right! I ended up buying it
Im debating to get M4 style spoiler or M performance...i like ures..less aggressive but a clean and nice look 👌M4 style is abit bigger i feel but not as big as CS style..im confused now what style of spoiler to go with :(
I prefer MPerformance. Subtle yet poppy. It gets my vote
Tommy L Garage i have a tie vote so far but im leaning more towards m performance style
Hey pal…did you do the PPF on your M3 or just ceramic coating?
Just ceramic coating
🙏🏽
SnewJ I guess I did ok? :)
Does this work on 2018?
Loving the plasters on the thumb
It was super painful
3M eraser wheel will make your life much easier removing the Glue :) it’s used with a cordless drill :)
You’re right! I have since bought it :)?
Tommy L Garage awesome haha ! I will be all over your videos from now on haha... 👌🏻 awesome Content buddy
NICELY DONE, SIR! I must say that I couldn't ha e done such a job myself if I hadn't seen such an Informative video. Well Done!
Nice! I’m glad it was helpful
Looks killer, Tom!
JCR Services thanks!!! Glad you like it
I have been watching other people install their rear spoiler and to me it's asking for trouble misalignment. However, I like your method the best install of rear spoiler it's so simple and accurate. Thank you for sharing! Now, I know the best way to install. Oh by the way, the most easiest way to remove GOO & ADHESIVE without hurting the paint finish is "GOO GONE!" it would have saved you time in adhesive removal. Just saying. : )
alrestauro thanks!!! I’m glad it helped.
I tried goo-gone. Did not work :(
golly, looks great tom!!
Ed K. Thank you! Exterior is almost done
Tommy L Garage congrats!! i wish i can say the same thing for my f80 😅
Ed K. Slowly but surely my friend!
Where can I purchase the carbon fiber lip?
Kies Motorsports
Wow so much easier than I thought, thank you
Jesus LovesU nice!! Glad it was helpful
Super clean and awesome lock
ما القصة؟ thanks brother!
Nice! I just installed my boot lip/spoiler 2 days ago same way as you did 🙂
Chi Tidy awesome! I guess I wasn’t very off then :)
Tommy: Thank you ! You Rock, I just picked up a "Alpine White" 16 M2 and I just changed out the OEM spoiler w/ a Carbon Fiber M4 V-type. I watched your video and it used your tips.Now that I have the CF spoiler I just ordered the mirror caps. Your M3 is awesome, the CF bits look fantastic !! I may get my roof wrapped at some point to get your look of M2's big brothers.
Thanks and welcome to the club !!!
Your Welcome 👊🏻 Also I’m your neighbor hello from Upstate New York I see you’re from the Garden State. 👍🏼
Beautiful man, good job.
Thanks! It was fairly straight forward
Hopefully getting my m3 competition package within the next week.
Watching from London.
You won’t regret it! Competition package is the way to go. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos i jus got a 2017 m3 competition package and i love it hopefully soon i will be putting on a carbon fiber spoilers too
Congrats!! Welcome to the club !!
Good Video and super nice car!!! Tip. Use lacquer thinner to remove the glue. Won't hurt the clear coat. Wax over before putting new spoiler on. Will save you a bunch of time. Same with debadging. Heat guns are dangerous on the paint. They use heat guns to remove finish in furniture refinishing and it's too easy to get the paint too hot. Good luck.
Good point. Thanks!!!
Hi. Can u please tell where you got the lip ?
Kies Motorsports
Thank you
What rims and tires do you have on your M3?
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/Ajlgq5bObYw/видео.html
Looks great man! Keep it up!
yousaf qamar thanks!!!
VERY HELPFUL tommy thank you!
ThatbluesmurF80M3 you got it!!!
Love it! Looks so good
ben dillingham thank you. It’s nice and subtle
Not sure if I'll go with a M4 style spoiler, definitely ordering one soon and the mirror caps. Not sure is my mirrors come apart the same tho, whill have to check more vids... Have the E92
Looks great man! Can't wait to see that bumper piece.
How dare someone thumbs down this video?!!
A Heated Mess did you really??!!! Haha
Tommy L Garage no that wasn’t me! I’m your #3 fan!!
A Heated Mess haha I know I know. I’m still waiting for you to shoot that in car makeup video
Black housing on the headlights and you shall have it complete, good sir!
Done and done! This video is over a year old. The car looks a bit different now :)
Love your vids. Not sure that is the best method to remove the mirror caps though. If you pop the glass out using a plastic trim tool, you can then squeeze the clips from inside and the cover slides off.
Rob Walker thanks for the love Rob. I know the other method is cleaner but it just takes too long. I’m all about doing things quickly since I have little free time being a dad and all... but fair point!
Next time soak it in WD40. Work like a charm everytime
Wow good idea. Thanks!!!
Yup, I used both WD-40 & DeNatured Alcohol.
Very nice looking mods, keep going! :)
Ilir Ahmeti thank you! I’m running out of options haha
Do you think an actual heatgun would have made the glue removal easier? I've got a carbon lip showing up soon and was curious if you thought you needed more heat to loosen the adhesive more?\\Great vid as usual
I liked the perfect product in the description of this video - check it out. That’s all you need. A heat gun would have made things worse.
ruclips.net/video/vp_HHJcaYo0/видео.html
Nice looks great!
Christian Perles thank you! Yes I’m very happy with the way it came out
I done the spoiler on my M2C last week and you don’t need the heat gun/blow dryer or the painters tape. Also, use 4 strands of dental floss so it doesn’t break
Good idea on the floss. Thanks!!
what winter tire and wheel package do you have here brother? Are all four tires winter tires? I am shopping for some right now. Thank you and amazing videos brother. I would like to see more winter driving to see how practical it is
I’m running OEM 513M 18 inch wheels with 255/40/18 tires on four corners. The tires are Dunlop Winter Sport 3D but in my mind any winter tire will suffice. Blizzaks and Pirelli Sorozero tires are very popular. I’m waiting for more snow so I can take some more clips but essentially the car is extremely drivable in the snow. I typically put about 150lbs of weight in the trunk and that helps. Thanks for watching by the way! Glad you enjoy the videos
Does 150lbs weight in the trunk helps you ascend a steep hill?
chgsupra1 absolutely yes. You have more weight in the rear which means more traction.
hey great video!! where did you purchase these carbon fiber parts?
Dadulikjan thank you !
Got them from this guy:
Jay: (714) 394-9723
Text him and say that tommy L garage sent you
@@TommyLGarage does he have a website? Or Instagram ?
Great video, a few questions...Are the mirror caps OEM? Where did you buy them and how much? Thanks!!
Stanislav Kovtun thank you. Mirror caps are replicas but pretty good fit. If you go under my video description for front lip you will see the contact info for where I got it from. Mention that video and you’ll get s nicer discount !
They very tips (ends) of the spoiler don't seem to be all the way flush on the trunk.
Daniel Shulman I know it seems like it in the video but I promise you it sits nicely
Should really use more tape / press the tape down super firmly and hold to seat it fully and bond the adhesive properly / eliminate air bubbles etc. Also for the pencil on mirror trick advised to AT LEAST put like a peice of masking tape on the back of the pencil first to protect the paint. But great video man :)
Edit: I get it that youre not using your factory mirror covers, but for all those watching who are keeping them ^ ^
Good point !
Where did u get ur spoiler? And how much it cost? I love it !! Thanks in advance
Charlie Chen at this point I say get oem. A year later and this one is showing signs of cracking. I’m moving away from replicas
Tommy L Garage - that’s good to know! Sorry to bother u again.. where is most reputable to get the oem parts?
Charlie Chen I’d hit up Bryan over at Kies motor sports
oh that loooooookss good on it , love ur content
Neiral thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. Videos are one way for me to not go crazy. Glad people are enjoying it!
Hey Tom, great videos bro
quick question: what brand of mirror covers did you order ? I just received mine from custom tuning and they don’t fit as tight as yours, I’ll return this and get something else.
Hey man, I got the mirror caps from a friend of mine who started his own company. They fit about 95%. Not 100% but 95% and for a fraction of the cost I am happy with it. Email me at got6speed@gmail.com and I can send you his info
Big mistake saying that once the rear diffuser is put on that the exterior will be complete. There is always something else to modify and change! haha
lorence b haha so true. It’s like a drug
Carbon Fiber Hood with vents then wrap the hood like the same body color but leave the carbon vents exposed
Tom Calilap why am I not opposed to this idea. Haha. Thanks for watching Tom!
Your car is so clean and simple and I love it. continue to add mods on your awsome car bro. More mods more videos #simplicityisbeauty
I really appreciate the kind words Tom. More videos coming soon, hope you stick around.
I love that idea, do it!
Maybe one day!
how much did the spoiler and mirror caps cost? i see different prices online and can’t tell if they are genuine or not. Should i go
to the dealer direct? worried they may charge an arm and a leg though!
icemanjondoe I forgot how much I paid but if I were to do it again I’d go OEM. Aftermarket tends to be imperfect and gets old quickly.
Great video! Which dremel bit did you use to take off the adhesive?
Thanks for watching Mark! The bit was one of those soft felt ones. It didn’t really work that well but it was better than scrubbing it with my finger.
my fingers have bubbles now and the darn adhesive still there :(
Hameed oh I remember that feeling. Don’t give up and go slowly!!
I successfully installed it... after I took off some paint with the adhesive and had to get my whole trunk repainted at the shop lol. Looks great now though
Oh no!! So sorry to hear that. Was it that bad that it needed repainting ?
Nice car bro. What suspension you running?
tony duong thank you. I’m running OEM adaptive suspension with macht schnell lowering springs. And thanks for watching Tony!
Tommy L Garage fitnent is on point!
tony duong thank you. Yes I’m very happy with it
I’d rather pay someone to do mine! but thanks for sharing
icemanjondoe thanks for watching!
Any plans for the interior?
Anton Flávius I am not sure. Might be fitting a vent gauge mainly for voltage, 0-60 and other stuff. Any suggestions?
Pedal house /aluminium pedals in black ? Mperformance alcantara shifter ,steering wheel the one with the blue like on top ?
That’s what I have on my m2 manual 👍looks grate
Anton Flávius good points. I already have MP pedals, shifter and handbrake. I’ll have to work on MP steering wheel but I hate the fact that you lose heating with it
Tommy L Garage the alcantara is grate in cold whether 👍I don’t mind the loss 🔥the steering wheel is so nice compared to stock 👍
"Crack's" 😂😂😂
Barbarian way of taking off mirror caps!!!! You really should take the mirror glass part off, then push the clips from inside. That is the proper way to do it! You never know when you may want to reuse the oem caps. Or u want to put them back on when selling the car. Now u can still use can strong glow to stick the broken clip back on. Not perfect though.
Steve Ding true - not the best option, but it saved me a lot of time. And I was too aggressive with the first one. The second one came off without any issues. If I were to do it again I’d be more careful.
Whats the name of the color of your car?🤔
Dark Paradox Yas Marina blue
👍 🔥
Anton Flávius I think so too!!
What did you use to clean the glue off of the factor spoiler?! I used tar and bug remover. The glue was more like cement!! I used a plastic credit card to slowly scrape the glue off but it left
3 scratches!! Im so upset. I used drcolorchip touch up paint and it is darker than the factor paint and doesn’t match at all!! Please help! Can your friend help me get the exact touch up paint for the marina blue. I have the same color M3 you have. Please private message me your phone number. I am a Doctor. You can trust me Tommy.
Doctor House doctor colorchip works well. Also any body shop can fix the minor scratch for you. Are you in the Tri state area ?
Tommy L Garage I am in Long Island but travel to Florida often. I am tired of this car. I regret buying it. BMW has poor customer service and unreliable circumstances. I used to have an e46 M3 and sold it because it was junk. I need your help. Do you have a phone number so I can talk to you?
That was not glue. It was more like rubber cement which damaged the paint underneath and was nearly impossible to get off. I still have layers of residue there. Goo gone and not even paint thinner will get that stuff off. I am very upset!
Tommy L Garage i saw in another video you took the carbon fiber spoiler off!? Whyy? Didn’t you mess up or scratch your paint with all that adhesive removal??
I don’t waste my time with cheap spoilers. I bought me a carbon fiber CSL style trunk lid and hood. I don’t care. Those stupid stick on crap suck!!
Very nice car, one of my favourites, Hope I can afford an M4 once i finish school Or a Wrx Sti
Steeve thanks! You will, just take it slow. A WRX is also a terrific car.
Hope so, I'm starting automotivee engineering at the end of this year, I'm very passionate about cars
Steeve wow that’s awesome! Sometime I wish I did that. Best of luck!
Doing mine now. This glue is TERRIBLE
Agreed! How are you making out otherwise ?
Tommy L Garage all done now :) check the IG @atlm3
Cody Cowart looks great!
Does the carbon fiber make your car faster? Or is it just for Looks? My opinion waste of money I drive the same car.
DTC USA purely looks.
I also like to wear nice jeans. Purely looks too.
First!
ayyub khan confirmed! High five!
