installing aero front lip

choiffer · 12-12-2007, 08:51 PM

I know that many of use tape or betalink to keep the top sections well attached. I bought double sided 3M heavy duty tape which is that red one.
Is that ok, or should I buy molding tape or something? I feel like the 3M tape will eventually come off that is why im asking before I put it on. Can you guys give me the exact type of tape you guys used. I saw the DIY and looks like im using the same tape, but this tape just doenst look strong enough.

P.S. Thank You to Longtran to the aerofront lip.

I used the red 3M tape on mine and its working just fine. I got the thinner width of the two available.

Used 3M tape also and it held up just fine, even after getting smashed in an accident, the lip was still attached to the bumper.

i had the exact same question a few weeks ago ... i used the 3m red tape that you have... it works just fine... if you want extra security you can use betalink but it would make the lip harder to remove if you ever want to do so.
