Where can you get really thin and strong 3m tape? I need some for my a spec front lip....it doesnt stick perfectly on my front bumper and it is pissing me off....I have searched stores and havent found anything really really thin. I just want to slide a few pieces between the lip and front bumper without having to take everything apart again.

hm...that's been a common problem for a lot of us; a lot of us have tried heating up the front lip and then reapplying. as for the THIN 3M tape, i'm not exactly sure where you could find some, but I'd recommend some sort of automotive store, and maybe even like a loews? also, if you can't find any, you COULD take apart the side thats not stick and use a heavier "tape" (get it from the dealer). it's not THAT HARD. just have to undo 2 screws (i'd check for ya right now, but my cars in the body shop). GOOD LUCK!

How hard is it to take the back one off? When the dealer installed my original A-Spec lip they did an excellent job, but after my accident I'm not satisfied with how the collision shop did it, there are like two spots in the middle that came off of the bumper and I'd like to fix it..
What should i do?

just get the red 3M tape everyone uses, unless thats what youre talking about? i dont know anything just like that but "thinner"... mines lips like that too. the gap isnt big enough to where i can just slide tape in ure gona have to take it off

explain...
are you talking about your rear lip? its quite a bit harder; it's drilled into your original bumper...

yeahh im talking about the rear lip... maybe i should just take it back and make them fix it instead of doing it myself?

yea it is drilled into the rear bumper so ask your shop to do it. for ppl installing the rear lip though, its not totally ncessary to drill holes into your bumper.. i put my rear lip on w/o the holes and it holds fine.

so its only 2 screws to take off the front lip and then i can reapply some 3m tape? its that easy??

ecliptics

are you talking about the two screws into the inside of the fender? yea its that easy.. but from your angle i dont think youre gona be able to pull the old tape off so just tape over it. it'll work i think

I just need real thin tape so I can slide some through the gap and hope it sticks

take a look for some VHB tape... very high bond, they sell it at target and other stores. Might help fix your issue. My Type S front lip is peeling back a bit (2nd one the dealer has installed) i think i'm just going to live with it, even though it bothers the hell out of me.
