the 3M tape should be good enough....especially if its the high strength outdoor type (comes with a red backing)
i have installed spoilers using that and rear diffusers....works like a charm

I wanted it to be permanent and used epoxy on trunk and wurth spoiler adhesive ordered from bav auto.
Lightly send the arias where it meets the trunk or roof as well as spoilers put the glue on on it. Align it. If you have helper would be nice but I did it my own. use lots of tape and put some weights on it especially on roof spoiler. Remove tape after 12 hours. Clean the excess glue from the edges.

I used the 3m tape that was already on mine. Used window cleaner to remove any wax or protectant from the paint to make sure the 3m grabs on well.
Its been in for over 7months still good
