Thanks bro!!

do you think i should get it installed with bolts or double sided tape??

I prefer double sided tape just because the thought of drilling holes in her trunk scares me... but i dont have any experience with the tape so i dont know how strong it will hold...

3M makes killer 2-sided tape used on bodykits. Though, I think a couple of holes will have to be drilled.

Yeah the red "outdoors" heavy duty one that you can find at Home Depot is strong like gangbusters, but I wouldn't trust a spoiler to it... It might hold for a while, but I'd be worried every day that it might fly off while I'm doing 80...

Plus the surface of the car gets to like 3 billion degrees in the summer... or if you take it to a car wash... etc. I say better safe than sorry.

No, I'm thinking of a blue/gray ones (they used to come with some bodykits). They are the industrial grade, the don't-get-your-finger-caught-in-it variety.

Do you have both options? Does the spoiler has pre-drilled holes for bolts?

I'm sure it's bolted, I doubt Nissan would tape their cars together.
