Default Help with my lip spoiler please...

Well, the very ends of my M3 lip spoiler are coming up just a little bit. I knew that they would because the curve on the trunk was just a little too much for the spoiler. It came with the heavy duty 3m tape. Any ideas on how to get the ends to stay all the way down? It doesn't look bad, it's just something that I can notice when I am really staring at it while sitting at home. When someone looks at it, it looks totally normal. I was thinking about getting some kind of bonding agent from the hardware store and making it a permenant spoiler. As long as it keeps the ends down, I don't care what I use.

Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks guys and gals.

Yabbut, it was funny, too. Iount know, my friend. Gorilla glue? Might rip the paint if it pulls up again... Maybe go to the 3M website and ask them WTF, over... Nothing I can think of would hold. Unless you wanna drill, which, I'm hoping you WON'T!!!

I might just put an extra piece of 3m under each corner. I just want to keep it where it is. It looks good, I just want to stop it.

I will not drill!

Did you paint it or leave it carbon-look? Maybe just pull it off and get it professionally installed... let them deal with how they get it to stay. Get it painted, too (if you havent)

Drill a small screw up through the inside of the trunk, up into the spoiler on each end. Thats sort of invasive, but it would probably work. Maybe you are just hallucinating from your "late night smoke sessions"?

make a pattern of the actual part that locates on the trunk from the spoiler, measure the inside diameter of the spoiler touch points on the trunk then tape you pattern to the trunk and you have a guide, when drilling through the trunk lid always put tape so the drill bit doesn't slip an rip your paint
