Default Toms Racing Spoiler tape?

Hey guys, I just bought a Toms spoiler and it came with this brown unknown brand tape. Should I remove it and get 3M branded tape or should it be ok? Thanks guys

I say stick with it. its already pre cut. Would be too much effort in my opinion to retape it. just clean the trunk very very well using a degreaser with no scents or moisterizers in it, then use adhesion promoter.

Agree w/Pittsy. Tom's makes good stuff. I'd trust their adhesive.

If it’s a real TOMs product then leave it.

I was at home depot and came across Gorilla brand clear double sided tape. I hate marketing hype. Is this tape as good as 3M tape?
