The spoiler is about 2" wide and uses two strips of double sided adhesive tape. This sounds like an opportunity to loose my valuable investment when it debonds at 70 mph. Any suggestions on a suitable supplemental adhesive? Preferably one that requires minimal prep of the paint (sand to bare metal, etc). I could go with mechanical fasteners but the lip is rather thin. Drilling up from under the trunk would require better precision that I have. Fastening from the top looks cheesy? Maybe if the heads were countersunk it wouldn't be so bad. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Roland ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?

How high is the spoiler? Aero pressure is 1/2 rho v^2 where (greek letter) rho is the air density. Run some numbers and test the grip. Rho for air is 0.075 lb per ft^3. 70 mph is 103 ft/s, 32.2 lb-s^2/ft to convert weight to mass, so aero pressure at 70 is about 12 lb per ft^2. Assume a drag coefficient of 1 and that is a good first estimate. Gary Derian > So Ebay has cheap lip spoilers and I convinced myself > that $25 was a low risk investment.
