What product you use to put spoilers on
I just received my carbon fiber BMW performance spoiler and I didn't get any of the adhesive sticky material.... I was wondering what product works best for you guys? I've read 3M makes some, but I'm not sure if this would be available and any walmart or store.
Suggestions? I'll post pics up once put on

Pick some up at any auto parts retailer. I use 3M and another brand and they both work the exact same.
My advice would be after you've marked the spolier placement with painter's tape and removed the DST's(double sided tape) backing, using a heat gun to warm up and soften the adhesive and afterwards use painters tape to hold the spoiler overnight. I wouldn't suggest using a hair dryer as a heat gun can be had for $20.

I'd go with Betalink so that it will harder for anyone to swipe.

What about general 3m double sided tape?
Some places I just checked didn't have the fancy 3m ones.

ONLY the automotive acrylic with the red backing tape..last thing you wanna worry about is peeling or having the thing fly off..the stuff is hard as a rock..five yrs I have had my lip spoliler and it still feels like its screwed in there.
