Double Sided Tape?
Sorry if this is a silly question, but on BMW's its very common to use double sided tape to affix the rear carbon fiber spoiler. I had one on my 1 series for 5 years without any issues. I was able to easily remove it too (using fishing line + goo gone) once I sold the car.
For people getting the Z51 (or any) rear spoiler for the base (non-z51) model, why not use double sided tape? Is drilling holes really necessary?
Thanks!:blue angel:
I'm planning on getting some sort of carbon spoiler soon, but I'm not too excited about having to remove the rear bumper or drill holes :x

I had a Caravaggio spoiler on one of my C5's and it was held on 100% by double sided tape. Absolutely no concerns about it ever accidentally coming off. I would imagine the same could definitely be done with the C7 spoiler as long as there aren't any mounting studs or anything protruding from the spoiler itself.
