Default Which double sided tape to use?

Ok I want to mount my powdercoated Leaper and I need to know what type to use. I know that there are different levels of Loctite. Thats why I want to know if there are different levels of double sided tape for automobiles?

If so which is the one for the Leaper?

3M is deffo the way to go.

The rear bootlid spoiler on my A6 has been on now for approx5 years with this stuff and isn't moving anytime soon.

+1 on 3M

Drop by your local auto parts store, they most likely they have a few sizes to choose from.

I am having an absolutely difficult time finding the 3M. They don't have any wide enough. The widest on the 3M site is 7/8 of an inch and the base of the leaper is 1 inch! On top of that 4 auto parts store and nothing! LOL

There's no harm in cutting it to fit and using multiple pieces. Done that for the front badge and the side sill covers with no problems.
