Going to be picking up a trunk lip spolier and maybe the one that goes at the end of the roof line ( sorry for my noob like descriptions).

Anyways , it seems these simply stick on with 3m tape ? Is this safe ?

I just picture my spolier flying off at speed and smashing into someone's car. I've always had bolt on spoilers hence my concern .

Thanks guys

My all stock 04 has the original factory spoiler. Each side is bolted on. You will probably also need the wiring harness bits and different trunk springs to handle the added weight of the spoiler.

For the small lip spoiler 3m will be fine, same with the rear window visor.

Any spoiler bigger than that I'd recommend using the factory wing holes.

Agreed. My lip spoiler is only held on by 3M VHB tape and it isn’t going anywhere. For the extra paranoid, you can use some adhesive promoters in conjunction with the tape to make the bonds even stronger.

Oh, I get it - lip spoiler. I was thinking the factory spoiler, and missed the lip part...

Thanks for the info guys ! Any of you with 3m tape happen to live in super cold locations ( it gets -15 Fahrenheit ) in the winter here .

Just wonder how it does at extreme temps .

Cold weather is very foreign to me. But the 3m VHB tape is rated to work in temperatures as low as -59 C according to their data sheet. This performance assumes that the tape is properly cured though.

Apply the tape when the weather is dry and temperature is at least 21 C and also pick up a can of adhesive promoter for insurance. 90% of the curing takes place within the first 24 hours and 100% curing is 72 hours. As long as it doesn’t rain during the curing period, you should be good to go.

Whoops, meant to say “-59 C”.

You'll be good.
