Most people are only using double stick... the 3m red stuff is exceptionally strong.

This stuff is new... instead of foam impregnated with adhesive, it's a solid piece of acrylic adhesive.

Here's my 2 cents into the mix.......What I used for my bbist fab wing was regular office butterfly clips (the small ones). It held on fine and you couldn't even tell they were there. I know bbist sells the clips, but last time I spoke with him they were like $40 since they're custom made.

Very Important! If you plan on using the butterfly clips, make sure you remove the silver handles on the office cilp so it doesn't damage your car.

- Andizbox* Since you bought the wing from me, I still have the office clips if you want them. Just hit me up.

You still have the double sided tape on too right? Make sure you have that on as well if you're planning on keeping it on for now. This way you can have added security that the wing shouldn't fall off.
