EXT: The Roof Spoiler DIY

[Dutchaccord]

O.K. This is the official Dutchaccord roofspoiler DIY

Ull need:

-3mm thick Plastic board (it needs to be an elastoplast)
-lots of bondo
-Poly Urethane Foam (PUR)
-A piece of black sticker
-Black silicone
-3rd brake light (optional)
-Paint
-transparant paper






ok lets get started:


First of ull need to get the exact measurements taken from the car. (i used semi transparant paper)

[Dutchaccord]

Now stick the paper on to the piece of plastic board, and jigsaw ur way around (grind it to a perfect fit it's a lot of work)


test the fit.........


Now u can bend it. I used the rear window as a mold.... use a heatgun to CAREFULLY preheat the rear window. Heat 1 corner of the plastic til it becomes bendable, place it on the rear window and stick it in to place..... let it cool down completely and repeat this in the other side (place it exactly on the same point on the other side of the window so the curves match.)step a bend the board so u know wich bend ull need

step b BEND IT


it should look like this


To fix the shape i filled the cavaty with PUR foam



Cut the foam back (about 1.5 cm )

Now its bondotime

-Roughen the surface of the plastic board so the bondo wil grip.
-bondo the outer edge
-then get the roofspoiler of and remove the rest of the PUR foam
-place brakelight
-fil it out using bondo
-grind
-fit
-grind
-fit
-grind
-fit (yes it's a long proces)



after a lot of grinding and painting is this the result:::::








Putting it on the car


get a black sticker and cut it in the same shape as the roofspoiler (so u cant see the silicone from the inside)



Put sufficiant silicone on there (degrease surfaces!!!!)

LET THE SILICONE DRY !!!!! or else..........................
i used a heater to speed the proces.

I always loved those on 1995-2001 745 il's I would have never thought to put one on my Accord.

I'll be honest though I would much rather pay you to build it for me then to build one myself. If your intrested PM with how much finacial compensation you are looking for.

[Dutchaccord]

i'd want to mass produce them, but
A) havent got the time, and
B) there woldent be enough market potential fot it (i guess)

Just to clarify the bondo proces:

[accordztech]

that is hella creative..time consuming but really good....it looks bad ass too! u can probbaly make ne thing now like custom eye brows....that finish piece looks OEM to me...not no ugly peace bro.
