This is a simple “how to” for the application of our “Spyder Teeth” decal kit for the front of a Can-am Spyder.
This is a little step-by-step on how to apply the Wrapmyspyder.com shark teeth to the Spyder RS. I picked design style #817 because I like the tongue design best. The normal two sizes available won’t work for the spoiler, so I had Pete print the design at 6″ x 20″, then I trimmed the red border from around the teeth, that puts it at just the right height for the application.
The leading edge of the two halves is curved and would leave the installation with bucked teeth <smile>, so I trimmed the front edge back, in a straight line from the front edge of the top tooth to the front edge of the bottom tooth. You could just leave one and then trim the second piece so there is an overlap, but I trimmed both pieces in my installation.
With all the trimming done, prep the spoiler by thoroughly cleaning the spoiler area, and wiping it down with 70% rubbing alcohol & standard paper towel off the roll, as recommended by Wrapmyspyder.com. Have your cotton gloves (add on at check out) , squeegee and blow dryer/heat gun at the ready.
Trim about 2″ of the backing off the leading edge. Placement of the first piece is critical because it determines how straight the teeth will be, you don’t want a crooked smile after all. So, don’t be afraid to remove and reapply until you get it completely straight. Of course, you are going to start from the center of the spoiler, and work your way around. There are a few contours to work around, so use your squeegee and gloves and remove the backing as you go. If you need to pull it back and reapply, do it, use the backing as necessary.
Take your time and get it on right, after that, the application of the second piece is a breeze. The teeth will overlap onto the small trim pieces where the spoiler ends. I applied it straight across and then sliced it to allow them to separate. After you’ve completed the installation, remember to heat the shark teeth up with your blow dryer / heat gun to activate the adhesive for permanent bond.
