Help with ACS spoiler install
When I received my ACS spoiler there was a sheet of paper in the box that gave you information on a 3M product to use if you wanted to blend the edge of the spoiler into the rear fascia. When I install the spoiler I thought to myself "I never do that" so i through the sheet of paper away. 
Well now I have decided to have the car painted and I would like the blend the spoiler in. So does anyone know what that 3M product is?

3M double sided sticky trim adhesive tape is what they recommend.
Personally don't do it. The front spoiler or splitter needs to be screwed into place.
That 3M sticky tape is good until you bump or hit something, then the spoiler may come off.

I bought a little can with a brush at a paint store. It's a 3m product that just primes the surface and makes the tape stick like a sumbitch. Mine has been whacked pretty hard by my dumbass buddy who thought it'd be funny if he could knock it loose. He couldn't. Be very careful, though. THis stuff is very watery, and will leave a clear run on your paint that could be prevented with care. Don't ask me how I know.
