stillen rear valence

i installed this yesterday using 3m double sided tape and today i noticed that around the curves that it isn't sticking very well and seems to be coming off. the sides and center are fine and are on well. did any of you guys have this problem when first installing it? is it something that i am doing that is causing it? thanks in advance

did you clean it really clean, if not it wont stick well. you can also run a small screw through it to help secure it better. or you can take it a step further and get it molded in so it looks like a part of your bumper

to be honest 3M double sided tape to intall that thing wont work unless you put a couple screws in there, or just mold it. and if it did, it will only work temporarily. almost everybody i know with the stillen rear valence, use something with the double sided tape simply becuase unlike the front, the rear has nothing to hold on to.

Sorry but you dont use screws only on the bottom center of bumper ,3m tape adhesive sticks on very well. Had mine on thru last winter and steady rain days and still no problem. You have to properly clean the bumper and spoiler prepsol usually works and you also need a heat gun to heat up bumper and spoiler . If done right you shouldnt have a problem...
