Veilside rear lip spoiler(replica)....
Just received my replica Veilside rear lip spoiler today from E-Auto, and I have some questions regarding the mounting. I dropped it off with a friend that is painting it, so I'll most likely be mounting it in the next couple days.
I know that the actual Veilside lip spoiler only requires double-sided tape, and I'm pretty sure I could do the same with this one. The difference in the replica, is that it comes with tapped holes(for the bolts), and some washers and bolts. At first, I was planning to mount the lip spoiler with 3M tape AND the bolts included.
Problem is, if I try to mount it with the bolts, they seem almost impossible to mount through the bottom of the trunk lid. They would have to go through the big hallowed out section at the back of the trunk lid(where the locking mechanism is located).
Would it be ok to just use 3M double-sided tape for this?
Thanks for any help!!

Sure you didn't get BYS spoiler?
Thanks guys for the replies. As for just using tape, I am just a little worried about that considering this spoiler is not carbon fiber or frp like the real Veilside. It is plastic, meaning it's heavier. Curious if the 3M should hold. As for the type of tape, can I just get this stuff at Home Depot or Lowes? I'm guessing I need the STRONGEST stuff, correct?




3M that sucka on!
