Default eBay 3piece wing and roof spoiler

So i know a few of you have gotten the ebay wing and roof spoiler combo off ebay. Question is my body shop says that since they are hallow inside there isnt much on the wing to get it to hold onto the trunk.

How have most of you been able to install and keep them on there? There not much on the edge of the wing to applie a good amount of tape/glue so just looking for diff techniques used. thanks!

I used 3M Double Side tape. Its hold, believe me. Ive had mine on for many years through pressure washes, rain storms, wind storms, everything. Even snow.

Does the ebay spoiler cover the holes left from the OEM spoiler?

I would HIGHLY recommend taking your car to a shop that knows what they are doing.

The question what to Mount with, not theft deterrent mounting. If your worried about anyone taking your replica use epoxy.

Have a professional install it. If you are not too worried about anyone stealing it you can use 3M double sided tape otherwise I would use urethane to bond it to the trunk. I went with urethane simply because I wanted a strong hold.
