Installing Mugen Spoiler..
Hey guys,
I'm going to be installing a mugen spoiler as soon as it comes in today. I was wondering exactly what product do you use it to mount it on the trunk. I heard to use a 3M double sides tape. I went to home depot's website, and couldn't find this product. Do you know which product/adhesive to use and where I can get it locally. Thanks.

so i go to the store and look around for the tape.. and i see two different types of double sided tape from 3m... ones heavy duty.. and the other is super heavy duty.. Which one should i use? The super heavy duty says that removing the adhesive will leave marks and can destory the surface... which one should i use?

Call me blind or whatever, but from that picture it does not look like there is anything much different other than the sticker about the Acura logo, probably the picture and the angle, but I can't see all that much difference.
Now if you want to make a statement by being different, get the spoiler of a 70 Plymouth Super Bird grafted to the TL...... now there would be "Different".... hehehe
