Question 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.
