I am putting on my stillen front lip spoiler tomarow. Can anyone tell me if hte double sided tape is enough to hold it on? It seems like there should be more.

No man its enough,its stronger than you think,the spoiler holds in place even without the tape lolThe 3MM tape extremely good, if you feel unsafe go to home depot and buy some more it sells for lik 5$

tape is more than enough. I installed mine about 2 weeks ago. I think the only place you would be able to put some screws is on the bottom corner of the wheel well. The spoiler hangs about 1/2 inch lower than the stock bumper so I dont see how you could put screws up from the bottom that would be secure.

The spoiler fits into the groves perfectly so it snot just "hanging" on for dear life on the bottom of the bumper. Tape is enough.

I bought the trunk spoiler and it came with tape, so the lip should. Good luck on the install and don't forget to post pix.

Also, any one have a pic of the lip spoiler on a precision grey coupe? I cant find one. My gf wants to get it, but a pic would help. thanks!

It came out looking GREAT dude. I love the mustache painted . Yeah the 3M tape used by Stillen is no joke. That thing holds on for its life.

Good to know, I'm probably going to get the lip this week or i miswell cough up the other like 400 bucks and get the skirts and corners as a package cause i dont wanna end up later wanting them and buying them individually.
