Suggestion for mounting/installing...

a Trunk Spoiler (Lorinser style). What's the best product out there to install my new trunk spoiler? Doublesided tape, glue?

Any and all suggestions welcomed...

Thanks!!!

I use a 3M double sided tape product to stick almost anything anywhere. It is thin, about .005 inch thick, and will bond a bumper on a Buick. It is 468MP.

because you are suppose to use industrial black glue for front lip. double side tape is just reinforcement.

Thanks Guys!!! I used that 3M double sided HD tape and it seems to be holding pretty good! We'll see how long before it falls and the car behind me runs over it... LOL!!! (just my kind of luck)...
