Roof Vane Installation

Brink834 · 03-09-2013, 04:37 PM

Can anyone recommend a body shop that's familiar with installation on a roof vane spoiler? Preferably in the Inland Empire, but willing to travel to the O.C. and L.A area.

I don't feel comfortable drilling into my car. I obtained three different quotes in my area and all three body shops wanted $500 plus.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thought about going that direction. How durable would double sided adhesive or tape work? Just curious.....and thanks again fellas.

Industrial strength velcro!

I used the 3m double sided tape on my roof vain and it has held up for about 5 years now. Many track days, rain, 130mps runs.

Thanx for the input. You guys are awesome.

My friend and I just installed an OEM roof vane on my wrx last night. We just used a small drill bit and took it the whole way through the car and then stepped it up a little bit at a time. It wasn't too bad. Just take your time and be patient.

If any member on the forum wants to make extra money to install this for me, I'm willing to pay $100-$150.

Not interested in adhesive or taping the OEM roof vane to the car.

Thanx guys!
