stillen roof spoiler/rear diffuser installation?

So far I have gone to 3 body shops trying to get my diffuser and roof spoiler put on. All of the body shops have said they do not want to do the install because they think it will come off. Has anyone successfully gotten these things installed? Does it stay on with just the tape? I'm in south Florida if anyone can recommend a shop.

I installed these myself per the included instructions with great success.
Install per the included instructions they will stay on the car just fine don't listen to the nay sayers. Use a couple small screws that were included for the diffuser. The tape is much stickier than most people give it credit for.
So long as you follow the instructions included and prep the area properly you will have no issues. Very simple to do it yourself don't even think about paying someone to do it.
While you're at it grab the front splitter from stillen it looks awesome on the car. Imo anyways and everyone who sees it too. Not the spoiler, the splitter.

I need to get the spoiler painted and the diffuser repainted, it got scratched up in my garage. I suck at putting stuff like this on, I screwed up putting the stickers on my jetski lol. Any pics of the front splitter? Is yours body color or black?

The tape is fine, or tell them to put it on with urethane adhesive.
I did a bad prep on my rear diffuser, and in about 5 months it was starting to peel off. Urethane adhesive, and that sucker is never coming off.

Eibach pro kit but the 20" wheels make it look lower I think. I don't scrape anywhere except if I boogie over speed bumps then the exhaust rubs the stillen exhaust hangs a little lower than stock.

Where in FL are you located? Isn't there a local speed shop that can hook you up versus a body shop? Even here in PA there's tons of local speed shop type places that would do this in a heartbeat. And BTW what color is your car maybe leave the diffuser and splitter flat black as I did would look good on yours too? If you're close to Port Charlotte ill be down there next week visiting the rents and can help u out.

I'm in Palm beach, I just moved here recently so I don't really know many shops yet. I went to serious Motorsport and they recommended a body shop, but when I went there they said they only do OEM stuff, I'm going to go back when my y pipe comes in and ask them for another shop. I definetly want the splitter and diffuser black. My car is a 14 sport and is silver, and has eibach springs.
