Data Systems Lip Spoiler Fitment Issue

I picked up the front lip brand new from a member of the board a few months back. In the two months I've had it on my car I've already had it come off twice, the first time I caught it just in time where I could pull over with some damage to it... the second not so lucky. I had just picked the lip up the on Saturday after having it fixed and repainted and reinstalled it (checking it 39 times to make sure it wasn't going anywhere) once again. Fast forward about 30 minutes of highway driving and I hear a lovely sound and see a huge chunk of my front lip go flying off to the side... knowing what it was I pulled off the exit and found this left on my car.






... and here's what it used to look like:




So with that said, has anyone else had issues with their Data Systems lip spoilers not mounting correctly? Besides the two screws on the side, the bolt on the bottom and the wonderful double sided tape, I'm not sure what else I could have done to keep this damn thing on my car... oh well.

I think I may be done with the car, it may be time to move on to something else. The car could be parted out soon, not that there's much to really part out.

I've had mine on for about two months without any problems. Sorry to hear about your problems. It's one of the best looking black G35 I've seen.

sorry to hear. i've had the lip on my car for 1 year now, and now problems with it coming off. i think the install may have to be an issue. was the prep done well? mine is mounted the exact same method as yours only i added my own 3M double sided tape because the paper covering the stickyness was kinda off from packing. i've never had a problem except when i went slideways into the curb!! fricken dog crossing the road, lol.
