Question Putting on spoiler/wing & Rear visor

Hey everyone! I recently bought a spoiler and rear visor for my is250, I believe you have to put double-sided tape on to stick 'em on to your car. Does anyone have suggestions on what kind of tape, because I do not want it flying off while I am driving. Thanks fellas!

Actually, I think this is the version of the 3M tape you'll need. I get it at any auto parts store or auto paint supply store. See attached pdf.

The tape below is what I've always used, available at a Wal-Mart or Auto Zone near you - although any one of the tapes above will work too.

IMO The 3M tape is not the best, the corner of the spoiler does not stick to well. If you do not plan to swap or remove your rear spoiler, I highly suggest you use epoxy instead.

Their will always be better products out their, but 3M tapes are done the job for my car. My wald kit, visors, trunk spoiler and roof spoiler all used 3M tape and its holding up hella good

I would suggest 3M tape that holds up to 5lbs (red back). Used it myself and it works wonders. You can get it from Staples or Office Max.
