Default Any tips on installing front lip?

Hey guys. Im researching on installing a front lip. Which 3m tape is best to use? I went to target and they had 30lb 3m tape. Will this be ok? Or is there a specific type of 3m tape for automobiles? Also whats the best way to install the lip? I believe this is the rep sk style front lip where there are 4 screws under the bottom and 1 screw on each side. How much and where should i put the 3m tape on? Thanks guys!

If you end up getting the "L style" lip you won't have to buy anything. Just paint and screw in. It's not like drilling into the bumper, they're little screws that go into the plastic underneath the car. A lot more sturdy IMO. You gotta remember theres gonna be a bunch of downforce while you're driving on the highway so eventually that tape is gonna come loose.
