Default Rear lip / valence / skirt

Looking for some ideas on installing this Wings West W-Type lip / valence / skirt. (To many names for this thing ) In any case like most lips I am able to screw 1 screw on each side by the rear tire through the stock bumper and the lip. Wings West provides some pre-adhered double sided tape on the lip, but like most tapes they fail after a year. Any ideas to make sure that sucker along the back stays attached? Anyone ever recess screws and then bondo over them? I need something that will not let go but comes in a tape fashion.

Will this work: http://autocarsuperstore.com/product...-60-03609.html

Thanks for the ideas.

I believe thats the same 3m tape I used on my old civic for the wings west rear lip. Held it on for 4 years I had the car.

Good to know. I think this is what they provide just wasn't sure how well it took to rain and everything else. Anyone else use this?

i'm pretty sure 3m tape lasts a pretty good amount of time. it should be able to handle all weather conditions. held my previous spoilers in the past fairly well

I know I had to buy the tape, mine didnt come with any, but regardless it was 3m and it held strong.
