Which 3M double side tape?

get some adhesion promoter as well

That stuff is killer, I used it in conjunction with the 3M tape

Aero lip is on! It took longer to warm up my garage than install the lip, easy stuff! The first tape pic I posted, 3M 03616, bonded pretty well, no chance of the lip moving anytime soon.

Pics tomorrow, the car looks funny at the moment, brand new shinning aero lip atached to salt coated front bumper...

This is what you really want. This is the same tape racers would use to install spoilers or heavy body parts. It costs around $50 but it is worth it. I used it to tape on a deck spoiler on my coupe and it has not moved or nudged for 3 months.

My garage is in the 40s at most, 20s outside.

sigh...

it's all good i put up mine in the coldness and no problem at all
