I ordered and prepaid for mine almost two years ago. I went to Eric's and picked mine up once he started production this summer. I went because I wanted to meet this guy that makes special parts for our toys. These are certainly well worth the wait. By the way while I was at Eric's I also got the rear spoiler. My avatar shows the additions.

Did anyone ever come up with a installation guide? I've seen several of the tips on various pages here, but with 20 pages to scroll through, and things being in no particular order, I thought it'd be nice to have some sort of ordered guide in a single post, pdf, or new thread...especially with the little tips like leaving the tape backing on and moving out from the center. Planning on installing mine this Monday...help will probably be needed.
Got mine early this week and yes it was worth the wait and it's perfect, would not expect anything less from Eric he takes pride in what he does and it shows on the finish products THANKS Eric.

Thank you everyone! :)
Have sent out 47 front spoilers so far with about 30 more yet to ship. We have ordered plastic for another 50 to cover these orders and then some. My thermoformer has made a new trimming jig at his expense and promises me the next ones will be ready to put in a box when I get them. Big THANK YOU Jim! I am expecting these in in about three weeks for those that have asked.
Last week I sold two to a gal in Germany and another to a guy in Austria. I have gotten decent shipping rates now from BAX global for anyone else overseas that is interested in these.

thanks for the update, I am anxiously anticipating delivery
Got Eric's chin spoiler this week and it's a nice piece. Has anyone tried anything other than the urethane to assist in holding it in place? I'm just looking for something possibly neater and cleaner looking from the underside (yup, I'm fussy) but still effective.
Send a pm to Roger, sharptoys, I think he had some additional fastening done to his, he has tutored me for my install. I just got my chin spoiler and am highly pleased with the piece.....Thanks Eric - good product and you got my recommendation

Yea, couldn´t wait to have the spoiler in Austria. Great to have one of the first Nascar spoiler in Europe.
I had many parts shipped via BaxGlobal and never had any problems, so I can recommend them for overseas shipping.
Looks amazing...just wish I had caught the instructions about going over the back seam with the remainder of the window adhesive...shortly after the washing the tape released along the whole length of the spoiler...gonna try to re-mount next weekend.
Thanks again Eric, you make these things worth their wait.

Maybe the tape is not that good to use as over time it will release unless you heat it up so it will stick better, why not replace it with the window adhesive.

The idea here is to have the tape to hold it in place untill the glue sets. Put the glue on the middle raised portion of the spoiler. The rest along the sides can be applied from the underside once it in place. You cannot have the bumper cover to clean. Use wax and grease remover at least a couple of times. USE A PRIMERLESS URETHANE SO IT STICKS TO THE PAINT.
