    how would you guys go about removing a snapped lug from a wheel adapter/spacer?
    i overtorqued one by accident and need to remove the broken piece.

      reverse thread it out... You will need those drill bits(extractor)



      I did that only on 3 lugs at the moment ...

          Should I drill a hole-less trunk for an IS spoiler or just 3M double sided tape it?
          The first car I ever rode in was an e30

            3m will wreck the paint also, if you plan on keeping the spoiler just drill holes

                  depends on how it is installed in the spacer/adapter. if its pressed in then its easy. if its threaded in them gonna be a PITA. take a pic of the backside of the spacer.


                  EDIT: nvm, i didnt read carefully, gonna have to use an extractor kit to get the broken piece out.

                    From what I've heard it's extremely hard to remove...I was worried it'd take the paint off like Oliver said.



                    Also what do you guys use to paint these things? Plasti dip, SEM...?

                      it wont come off, its really really strong. if used properly its better than mechanical fasteners.
                      use plasti-dip, Sem is thinner and will show more of the imperfections.

                              HAHAHAHA.

                              i would probably straight trade my e30 for an e30 m3, but i would be taking a huge loss off the bat, which would make back its value over time due to the rarity of the m3...

                              which is why im constantly on the lookout for a good deal on a straight m3 roller, so i could just swap over all my shizz and be happyz.
