I tried the tape., it failed after a few washes. Tried the Epoxy and Gorilla Glues, still had issues. Betatech adhesive is the only thing that finally did the trick for me. Same with the JP Rep spoiler. I ended up also screw/bolting my tte on though because it takes so much abuse

stuff works amazingly well but if you plan to do any other add ons like spoilers or anything id plan to do them all at once, that sausage is more than you'll need for sure and its only got a shelf life of like 6-8 mo.

you need to use screws....it was designed to be screwed and 3m taped on. I wore mine through and it never came off even after I hit a curb
