Thought this might be useful for those of us who are going to be getting the rear ducktail spoiler in the Aurion GB...

(did a search on "fitting body kit" and "double+sided+tape+spoiler" but didnt come up with anything useful..)

how/what would be the best way of fitting the spoiler on? I'm assuming that the good ol double sided tape may not be permanent enough for a exterior body kit part?

the process i have in mind was something like

1. degrease the area

2. apply a "glue" of some sort onto the udnerside of the spoiler

3. attach onto boot lid.

anyone here have some input on this? or is this something that a panel beater is better of doing?

cheers

Mine is just fixed with double-sided tape by the panel beater since they did the colour code, they just stick it on for me... the ducktail also can be bolted on which i think Ari (Aur3on) did..

i was planning to double sided tape it on.

As for painting the spoiler, what do you guys think a good price would be?

would it be possible to buy the paint and do it your self?

Cheers

not sure about the price of getting someone pro to do it, but i did some spraying on the weekend, and came out really well! if you go to bunnings, i think they just came out with a new paint for plastics, it worked a treat! but make sure if you do paint it yourself, you get a paint for plastics, cause most of the ones at bunnings are for wood/metals. if you're looking for a good plastics paint, then places like supercheap apparantly sell em too...

remove the spoiler

weld the holes

paint the boot lid

paint the new spoiler

attach the new spoiler

i would expect the average of all that to be around the $450-$500 mark...

to attach it, i'd suggest one of two things... 1) use bolts or 2) use sikaflex/silicon

hey stedy, this is the paint i was talking about, from Bunnings, they actually have quite a range there, and since this is a high gloss, you won't really need to do a clear coat if you don't want to ;)

just a bit of a revival here,

has anyone with the ducktail here noticed that the double sided tape dettaches itself after a while exposed to rain? mine has, even thou i have a big bead of sikaflex underneath running along the centre of the spoiler... is this a cuase for concern? im thinking of sealing up the edges with clear silicone sealant...

Just as I thought.. Hahah. I wonder if the existing holes of sportivo spoiler can be used to bolt on the ducktail.

im not worried about it coming off, as its still solid on the boot, just dont like the idea of water getting into that area.. will silicone it up and see how it goes.

I know this is a slim chance, but do you guys reckon the ducktail gonna cover the existing holes from the spoiler?

No 1 has any idea? :(

Shouldn't cost more than 150, coz fitting it is simply puttin it on top of ur boot with double sided tape on it, unless you wanna drill it. Look around the forum, there has been pictures of non-aussie Aurions with ducktails on em.

sorry vick, cant help you with the clearing of the sportivo holes.. but using sikaflex and some silicone sealant around the edges of the spoiler along with the double sided tape seem to give a pretty solid hold...

BlueBird - heres a photo for you... colour coding can be done from $100.00 here in perth..

Mine is from RStyleracing in Thailand - fits perfectly

Double sided tape and sikaflex is probably the safest option for securing it - that's what the panel shop did for me.

Mine is double sided taped with few self tapper screws and now signs of it coming off but in saying that there is few variant duck spoiler which range in quality for fitment.

my eyelids are also double sided taped and no signs of them falling off - I also fixed Stylusions ones after he had problems with them comming off.

key thing clean the surface and use a good quality double sided tape and don't be shy with it :-)

lol yeah i did it today. went all out on the spoiler with the sikaflex, no screws or anything :S

i really hope that is enough to keep the spoiler on the car! but apparantly they use sikaflex to literally assemble buses LOL

will let ppl know if going all out on sikaflex results in the spoiler coming off or not :)

I'm interested in getting this ducktail for my car. Pity I missed out on the group buy a while ago. Does anyone know where I can get one locally in Victoria? The only one being sold near my area is the touring wing, which doesn't suit what I want for the Aurion

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
