Any suggestions on how to install ACS rear spoiler. I tried using 3M double sided tape but it just doesn't look right! Anyone with ACS rear lip spoiler have any suggestions, please help!!

I have ACS roof and lip spoilers. My BMW body shop painted and installed it but I know they used the liquid adhesive that came with the kit (not taped). It's been on my car for over a month and looks great with excellent fit.

Sorry- did not notice as it was in a white box with the kit. My sense is that its removable. It requires "cureing" without water or harsh driving for 24 hr after application. I bought my ACS kits from:

I'm sure if you email them or call them they could give you the info our even sell the adhesive.

FGS man ask the people you bought it from but this time only ask for the bonding adhesive used for instaling windscreens but you'll never take it off again without taking the paint with it and don't think about tape or you can watch it bounce down the road in your rear view
