This is a question for people with ACS parts, how the hell do you make sure that the sticker stays on the ACS part??
Nothing is sticking, because the area is painted and clear coated. The adhesive backing on the sticker is so useless, and I've tried using cement glue, hot glue, super glue to no avail. Every time I wash the car with the power wash, and spray anywhere near the sticker, it just comes off. If I do manage to get it to stay on, dirt gets underneath one edge of the sticker and starts to lift it up. Thank God I bought 10 of these stickers, because I'm down to my last 4, haha.

Leave them off. The car looks better without them. Looks cleaner and it also keeps people guessing as to who makes it.

I did for a while, but then it looks stupid because theres a void where the sticker is suppose to be.
However, I'm thinking of asking the body shop that ends up painting it, if they can cover it up with some sort of bonding cement and make it look clean all the way across the spoiler...

i don't have the stickers on my spoilers. The void isn't really noticeable with jet black

That's so great to hear. I guess I'll just get mine painted then and not worry about the void. I was thinking of having the body shop bond over the void to make it all look flush. Guess I won't now.
I'll take some pictures this weeked and post it for you to see, so that you can make the decision. I don't want you to base it solely on my opinion
