Installed!
Had some free time to do the installation and it was pretty easy.
To install the rear window spoiler:
1. With the plastic still attached to the double sided tape, I dry fitted the rear window spoiler to make sure that everything fits fine and that I got the right thing. (It sits on the glass by the way)
2. I cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol.
3. I used the adhesion promoter pads that Paradox Systems provided to wipe the area that the tape would be touching the glass. Its not a huge pad so I worked quickly to rub the area down before the pad dried.
4. With a friend's help, I placed the rear window spoiler on the window, with the tape still attached to the double sided tape.
5. Holding one side down, I started to remove the plastic off the double sided tape, and pressed the spoiler down while pulling the plastic off. ( If that was hard to understand, basically I put the spoiler where it was supposed to be and pulled the protective plastic off the double sided tape while it was held down so it just fell into place... hope that makes more sense )
6. Done!
Eyelids..
To install these, I dry fitted these quite a few times, trying to figure out how I was going to press it into place and what lines needed to line up in order for me to stick them in the right place. These seemed like a one shot deal, so I had to make sure that I had it right.
I would reccommend doing the same, just dry fitting the eyelids as much as possible, trying to figure out how you're going to press it into place once the tape is exposed.

My Nissan Maxima
I've had my Nissan Maxima for quite some time now but have lately found the joy of modding. There's something to be said for the feeling of making your car just a little bit different from the rest of the crowd. I've seen some cars that have gone to the extreme, and 'to each their own'. I'm looking for more subtle changes to my car.
A little about the car, it is a charcoal colored 2001 Nissan Maxima. I'm hoping to share what information that I come across throughout my 'modding' experience. I've already found a place to find some of the parts that I've been looking for. I saw the website on another car and took a little time to remember it and find it on the web.
I'm going to be ordering a few things from Paradox Systems soon. I've also found some stuff on ebay that I will be looking at too.
