napa, ricer zone, checkers, pep boys, any PARTS store...

3m auto body tape, its whats used to hold on 95% of OEM vehicle moldings on SUV's and such...

Theres better ways of mounting bodykits, but suite yourself.

Promoter?

For mounting a body kit, I'd use rivets. You will lose pieces of it driving down the road if you use "double face tape" or similar to attach.

$0.02 worth.

There use to be this automotive paint/molding shop called Choice. I'm not sure if they're still around but they sold double sided tape for molding.

I think it's safe to use double sided tape as long as the ends and bottoms are screwed on. Rivets look fugly unless you bondo over them.

ha i lost my "mugen" poly front lip on i76 in august i think, just had screws in it... after i got a new one, i used 4 screws (1 in each fender, and 2 on the flat face "grille" area of the bumper), and some double sided tape... even after hitting a large chunk of ice randomly in the road and having nowhere to go, i still had half my front lip lol, the rest of it just shattered.

Cliff note: double sided tape HELPS, but do NOT use only the tape.

Well the instruction manuel said to use double sided tape for the door caps and for parts of the side skirts... Should I do something different??
