DIY: F10 rear trunk spoiler install - performance spoiler

This mod was pretty straight forward and easy. I got a bmw performance spoiler from Taiwan like the rest of the members here and on the Fest. I love the mod and have no regrets.

The spoiler arrived well packaged with a roll of two sided tape. I cut the tape into strips and attached it to the back of the spoiler. I than laid the spoiler on a used yoga mat and peeled off the backing. I used a 50/50 mix of windex and water to spray on the clean trunk deck. The spoiler slid very easily. I actually wiped off some of the liquid with a paper as I thought I would have to wait forever for it to dry. IT came out great. The spoiler had a slight spot of paint missing as you can see from the pic. Also, the right corner was sitting up a little; however, every almost every member I have read who did the install had the same thing. I initially put a piece of tape there as well, but it was visible. It is really not that visible and you will forget about it.

The link has the pics:

Looks great, a few questions:
Did you placed the spoiler / sticking tape on the wet surface?
See you have a double exhaust was this a conversion, if so, I have a '11 535i Xdrive with two single tips each side, any tips convert my car to a twin double exhaust?
Thanks !

Looks nice. Did you buy it prepainted, or did you have it painted here? If the latter, what was the cost?
