EBAY Roof Spoiler -- Install question

Hey everyone. I just bought a roof spoiler from EBAY (see pic below) and I'm a little concerned about the install. Is double-sided 3M tape sufficient in keeping it on the car?? I don't want it to fly off when I'm on the highway!

Does anyone have this particular type of spoiler on their car? And if so, what did you use to ensure a secure install? Thanks so much.

hmmm.. it looks like it doesn't even sit on the rear window. That is going to make it even harder.
Aww man! I guess I should've posted here before buying it I saw a similar spoiler (or is it "wing"?) on a black coupe and I thought, "Hey, that looks pretty cool!"


I'm going to go for it anyway and hope for the best. I'll try to post a pic of it soon so you all can have something to point and laugh at

I appreciate everyone's input though. Until I read the responses, I didn't really have a feel of how that particular roof wing would be perceived. From the general concensus it makes sense why I haven't seen it on anyone else's G on the forum. Thanks again!

it actually looks like it fits onto the black lines on the roof. Not that it makes it more secure with tape but.... Hey put it on your trunk it might look better there.

Waste of money. Only buy name brands off eBay unless otherwise informed by others who have used products and are satisfied. There are other roof spoilers around that look a LOAD better then those do. Just my opinion.
