UTR spoiler

Just received my UTR spoiler from the body shop. Any advice or something extra I should do to it to make sure it doesn't superman while I'm on the freeway? They sent 2 strips of 3M tape but it doesn't seem like enough to me.

The 3mm tape is good. But if you just want that extra security have the body shop use an adhesive. I forget what it's called but once it's on it is impossible to get off.

I put my UTR spoiler on myself with 3m tape from home depot about 1 year ago, no probs at all. It won't go anywhere.

How much tape and where to buy?

How much 3M would you say is required for a secure, permanent Data systems install and would it be something advisable for a relatively handy gent to do himself? If not, how much to install on average? I'm really interested in the DS, but haven't researched best companies to purchase from. Have a good paint place in mind at least.

The DS should come with 3m tape on it already.

it doesn't, just a roll in the bag. I opted for addition wider 3m adhesive as opposed to the tape that was supplied
