Will use 3M adhesive remover and Wonder Wheel to remove any old adhesive. Will prep Surfaces with 3M cleaner and 3M promoter.
Question - in a number of posts I see recommendations to use:
- 3M VHB Tape 4991 - 2.3mm thick foam core
- 3M VHB Tape 5952 - 1.1mm think foam core
- 3M tape but identifier not stated
- 3M tape from Autozone that is not VHB and not foam core
Some folks aftermarket spoilers some folks OEM spoilers. Which of the two tape thicknesses is recommended for an OEM spoiler? I am hoping / guessing the fitment is better with OEM so the thinner of the tape?
1mm about a penny in with.

I'm not sure which one I used, but it was definitely thicker than what came with the spoiler/lip. If I had to guess, I'd say you need the thicker one, but double check before purchasing because I'm not 100% sure. All I do know for sure is, you don't want the tape to be too thin since it will not actually stick in some of the areas. That's why I had the problem I did. Good luck 👍
