get the 3m double sided tape with the red backing.

btw, when putting on your roof spoiler, first test fit it on your far with another friend helping you hold it to see where the gaps are. i just re-installed my gf's cf acs rep roof spoiler and there were quite a few gaps in the middle. i had to put 2..3 layers of double sided tape to make sure it would stay down. But near the corners/edges it sat perfectly and i only needed 1 layer.

just a heads up.

Like he said ^^ You'll have to go to the aisle with all the adhesives. I think they sell it as weatherstrip tape. It's double sided with red backing and you can get it in thick or thin rolls.

Is it just me, or is this the 4th or so thread asking this in the last 2 weeks ? It would be good if you did some searching.
