Lip spoiler install?

I have an OEM lip spoiler for my 06 sedan. What's the best way to mount it? I've heard betalink but I'm looking for a lesser than permanent installation. I've seen the 3M VHB 5952 from another post but just wanted to be sure. I can't find that tape anywhere in my area and would have to order it. The spoiler is kind of heavy in my opinion for tape. I want some that would hold it there even when going 80 down the highway.. Help?

I used 3M double sided tape and it's been fine for 4 years, on a daily driver including Canadian winters, and several car washes.

I used 3m vhb on my PE spoiler, have also had it installed for about 4 years now. Holding up fine and the car is not garage kept. As long as you clean the two surfaces well, it should adhere with no problem. I actually taped down my spoiler with blue painters tape for the first week or so after installation, just in case and the tape also added a bit of downward pressure.

I think it was auto but not sure.

I was also told auto and some other variant are actually the same but in different packaging.

Don't know much more than that.

Good luck

Went with the auto, hoping for the best thank you

I like what Steven did, will be taping it down for the first week or so
