You have to pull of the backing plastic, its held in with a little bit of brittle glue and pops right out, Once you have that off you need to get some 3m double sided autobody tape, just tape the edges of the spoiler(anything thats touching the window) and then just stick it on there.

thanks man

OK, got the mounts, looks like they will need some work to get on a awd, infact, it looks like any 2wd mount will need work to fit the iX's larger front bearing bolt pattern. I am going to take it to a machine shop to try and get a sleeve made that bolts to the car, then the bearing bolts to the sleeve.... now on to the pictures, if you want any other angles, or anything just ask.

Use the plate from the original bearing as an adapter...?

[Erik j]

Thinking about it, I have some junk plates that I can cut up to mount these into. Otherwise I will just have a ring machined that makes the bearing fit right.

this is so cool.

Here is how I plan on getting these mounts to work in the car. The red will be a machined ring with a stepped up lip in them that the plates will ride in, I can put grease in there so the plates will turn easy when it comes time to adjust them. I will have 5 bolts that hold this adapter to the plate so its nice and strong.



The adapter plate can be mounted to the car and left in there, then just the bearing plate has to be unbolted when you want to remove the strut housings.

i feel like this car should be slammed... but off road e30 ftw i want one

[Erik j]

Going for the off road "zombie control" type of thing. Going to make a nice e28 cruiser someday

[CorvallisBMW]

Sub'd, can't wait to see where this goes!

[325ix]

Camber plates look pretty nice. I'm curious to see what it takes to mount these up.

[Erik j]

Zombie control!

My friend made me a new hood emblem, we still need to mount it to a roundel and plate it again. Its a seagull skull thats been copper plated :)



We got some snow, so I got to do a little zombie hunting in a blizzard
