It'll flow well with your car man. I like how simple and clean your ride is. Can't wait to see another shoot of it with it all on.

I'll give you a tip. I have had my rep jp for a couple years now. If you have a fiberglass rep, disregard this. The polyurethane reps are heavy. I had the good 3m tape and the center piece still came loose a couple times. I just re-did it using some 3m tape and betalink k1 adhesive. The adhesive isn't cheap but it's what bmw uses on spoilers. Just giving you a heads up in case you only used tape. I haven't had this set up for long, but it did make it through a hurricane.

I have the polyurethane version but it's mounted wih special kit that they gave my from the bodyshop. So no 3M tape.

It doesn't require sanding or anything, but if you're asking if it's reversible. I don't believe it is. They give you a cleaner you can use to remove any excess adhesive before it sets.

Yeah that's what I was talking about tiger. I've had it for a couple of years as well. But I'm thinking about taking it off. I'm using double sided tape. I was also thinking about adhesive but I was worried that I was a permanent thing. And if it wasn't, after I remove it will there be messy adhesive leftovers all over the trunk
