My stillen lip is off and repainted and now I want to install it again (the right way). My question is - has anyone done this themselves? I mean, i guess I can have a shop do it for $50 or so but here's my question, those of you who have it installed is it just the tape holding it on (besides the screws in the wheelwell) or are there screws too? The local body shop guy said he wanted to use tape and 6 screws to hold it in... is he right or should it be just tape?

You definetly want to use screws,

When I installed mine I used about 8 screws.I would rather be safe then sorry.

What I did

I got a roll of the 3M automotive tape from NAPA, it was ~$40, good stuff! Be sure the surfaces to be adhered are clead and degreased. I mounted it with that then put a screw on either side where the spoiler overlaps the inner lower fender well lip, I used stainless steel sheet metal screws. Its solid!
