Default Adhesive for HFP front lip

I wanted to install the HFP front lip and possibly the rest of the kit later on but I wanted to know if the adhesive provided with the lip would hold well. Should I buy something better or will it due. Any insight would be great-thanks

If put on correctly the oem adhesive will hold just fine if it ever starts to come loose just buy some stronger 3M tape and you will be fine

You gotta really clean the contact areas, and let it sit for one day out in the sun before cleaning with water.

All the sun does is heat the adhesive and make it tackier. I would just use a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the adhesive prior to installation. This will help it adhear to the car.
