My First Upgrade via Stealership

What kind of tape did you use? I put a sport spoiler on my Z before with just VHB tape around the entire perimeter and there was no way that thing was coming off without some serious heat applied to the tape.

It was VHB 3M tape and automotive silicone adhesive from Home depot (forget what brand, might have been Loctite)

but as soon as I hit 75-80 mph on the fwy it flew off. I also had the Seibon Nismo Carbon Fiber Spoiler at the time so its a bit bigger than the sport spoiler. Its just a crapshoot when you just use the automotive double sided tape. Unless you live in a primarily cold and low humidity environment.

I am in socal, and when this happened last summer it was hot for our part of town. Usually in summer itd range from 75-85F but last summer was 90+F all the time usually.
Im sure its cause it never had the chance to properly set or anything but if you live anywhere with heat and humidity together constantly, I don't know if the tape would ever set unless you sat it in a shop or garage until it is immbolized
