Remount Aspec lip

Anyone ever had to remount their aspec Lip kit? I'm looking to remount mine cuz of a little gap on the corner. However where can I get a replacement mounting tape kit? I do have automotive 3G tape which is what I used but I found out that it's too thick and causes like a 1mm gap so I need the oem mounting tape kit for a proper flush mount. Btw, that own mounting tape was really strong! Took awhile to remove

Remove all old tape completely, clean the area with IPA and use 3M double side tape

I had bought this lip and bumper used so the prev owner put some kind of adhesive at the gap but it didn't hold so through the gap I can see the leftover adhesive which bothers me a bit. You guys dont have that right? In trying to confirm if it was from te prev owner or the lip comes with that adhesive

I bought a used front lip also and will probably need some double stick tape. I'm also looking for the brackets, if not I'll have to use some shit from a hardware store. OP, hope you figure it out and then post what you did.

hey man i quoted you just to tell you that you found the right stuff.

a friend of mine had that and let me tell you.... that stuff is really heavy duty industrial strength stuff. it sells for about $40 per roll at home depot or other hardware stores. that stuff you linked is the real deal. it doesn't get any better.

and if it does, i don't know about it

my rear a-spec lip is a little sagging. i need to re do it, but i don't have any double sided tape to do it. i was thinking about buying what you linked, but $40 is pretty steep, especially considering that i only need about $5 or $10 worth of tape lol.

if i had a job i'd buy it and re do my lip.... but money is tight so little things will have to wait!
