    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

I see that KDM sells the lip spoiler and I think it looks great on the Genesis sedan. How do you affix this to the truck? Do you just use double faced tape or do you have to drill holes in the trunk? Is this a very difficult job to apply. If you just use double faced tape, how secure is it in car washes, etc? Thanks
 
Thank you for pointing me to the correct information. I am just trying to get ideas for what I am going to do to my new Genesis. The explanation on this thread was great!

Where can you buy a KDM trunk spoiler? I think I've seen one picture on this forum with one... From what I remember it looked the best.
 
I bought mine from CarId. They had an option to paint pearl white to match my exterior

I was thinking KDM was Hyundai brand.... I've seen that spoiler before and don't like it that much... I think Hyundai has one to purchase but they don't advertise it.
 
I got mine from Dallas Automotive Restyling, 1-888-556-2301, www.dallasautomotiverestyling.com and am very happy with it. Pre-painted for me with the 3M tape already on it.

The only bit of advice I can give, is before installing, place the spoiler just where you think it should be, (tape backing still on the tape), just so you get to "feel" the correct position. Once you have the "feel" for the correct position, remove the tape backing (but do not place on trunk yet), then with a water hose, wet the trunk and the spoiler tape. Give it a good soaking. While it is still wet, GENTLY place the spoiler on the trunk and GENTLY slide the spoiler to the correct position. (Because everything is wet, you will be able to move and slide the spoiler to the correct position). Only after you are sure that the spoiler is in the correct position, and only then, you can press harder on the spoiler to set it in place. (not too hard as now you don't want it to move). Next, wipe away any water. Now, press the spoiler down harder to the trunk. Once you have done this, park the car overnight to allow any water on or under the tape to dry. Next morning, again, press down hard to make sure the tape and spoiler has set to the trunk.

Thats all there is to it. Easy.

One warning to those of you who insist on just placing the spoiler on the trunk without getting everything wet. DON'T DO IT. Even if you measured ahead of time. If you are even a quarter inch off in your placement, once the tape sticks, it is stuck there forever. That 3M tape is fantastic stuff, and you will not be able to remove it.

So I was on eBay grabbing the 17" wing emblem wheel caps (4 for $27 shipped!: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HYUNDAI-GENESIS-ALUMINIUM-17-WHEEL-HUB-CAP-1PCS-/270634711945) and I noticed a CHEAP lip spolier for the Genesis. $48 painted & shipped straight from Korea.

Normally I'd be wary, but I'm on a run of getting quality stuff from Asia for crazy inexpensive. I recently bought a bunch of authentic NFL game jerseys for $20 each, reg price $289 each. So I'm thinking, it's only $50, lets roll the dice. If the quality is very low (reviews for the seller are great), then I'm only out $50. If it's passable, then I just saved $200. What do you guys think?
