Default Installing stock rear spoiler without drilling?

I've seen a few references to it. People that have tried it, what results have you gotten with just using the foam tape?

I used 3m double sided tape. It holds very very well if you dont want to drill holes (like me). Go to your local home depot or lowes or whatever and get the 3M double sided tape. Its the one with the red plastic just so u know.

water does not affect the 3m tape. The wing comes with a 3m like tape from the factory. And just about any car that has side molding stock... uses 3m tape to help secure them. trust me, its not coming off.. lol.

You could also use Sikaflex. We use it in the marine industry. It takes about 4 days to set hard, but when it is, you´ll need a jackhammer to take it off.

+1 on the 3M adhesive tape. I have used it, on my Data Systems Wing and have no problems with the wing going anywhere. Wing has been on my car for two years.
