3M double sided tape.
Be sure to prepare the surfaces first with Prepsol or equivalent

How is the double sided tape at higher speeds? Don't want anything flying off. Have one coming soon and was also curious.

Have three guys available, two to line up the piece and one to eye-ball it into exact position, once it goes down it's not coming up ! We used a blue Stabilo pencil to mark the location of the unit so when it was actually pressed into position we had a "target" to shoot for. Good luck... it'll look great !

We also sorta tilted it back at a @45 degree angle when applying from the rear. I lined up the cut out area for the third brake light......then pushed it forward to make contact at the rear,....at that point we rotated it forward and down,and pressed it home!

'Cause she won't come up easily if you use enough tape to keep it down well
Also, mine has seen 135 a few times now, with no issues at all

It will not come off the car BUT be sure to prep the area first as I mentioned above.. If your car is Zaino'd for instance, you do NOT want to put this spoiler on the car until ALL Zaino has been removed with Prepsol..

I have had my C5 with the Caravaggio on it down the front straight at Pocono Raceway in PA for many laps at speeds of 155-160 with no problem at all.
