You could try somthing like this http://www.tracysworkshop.com/p-1928...iliateid=10050
but I'd be careful some epoxy can eat right through plastic. Or maybe some industrial 3M double sided tape.

The double sided tape works good, but make sure you do a dry fit of the part on the rear window. There are bound to be high and low spots and you may have to build the tape up on the areas that are low.

I put my half sized CF roof spoiler on with 3M tape. Just make sure to clean the window and put down an adhesive promoter on the window and spoiler.

They are not painted but the nicest ones I have found is at www.ionicdynamics.com. Very nice product and mine is one its way now!! :-) Great communication from them as well in answering my questions.

They told me the ones on their website are a higher quality than the ones they sell on ebay (better finish and so on).

It attaches with 3M tape as well.

half roof spoiler

I just received mine recently. Where do you find adhesive promoter? I already have the 3m double-sided tape and the rubbing alcohol.

Actually, according to the guy at Ionic Dynamics, they aren't. The ones they sale on ebay are not finished the same way as the ones they sale on their site. The ones on the site, according to him, are slightly thicker with a nicer finish to them. That's why they cost more. He said there is nothing wrong with their ebay ones - just the website ones are slightly nicer. His words not mine! I know the pics are the same - I have seen them.

I am not saying you are wrong, just stating what Jose from Ionic Dynamics told me. They are the same seller - not disagreeing with that. Just that he sells two versions from what he tells me.

I actually bought mine from maximumobsesion. He had it painted. Looks pretty good too. The match was perfect, and it's got a nice shine to it too.

If you get one, I highly recommend getting a full size one, they look best IMO.

MaxSE2001: We have the 1/2 size.

This is the full size. Again, a little too much for my tastes, but people like em:
