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
