Bought a used type1 spoiler, need new tape
I bought a used cf type 1 2x2 weave rexpeed spoiler.

The tape on it sucks, and i cant find good 3M double sided tape.

Can anyone help me out?

Maybe rexpeed can sell me the tape?

Um I would personally just go to autozone/checkers/shucks and purchase a roll of double sided 3m tape for a mere 6 bucks.

Thats pretty much the same thing that the spoilers come with.

You can get it from autozone. This stuff is pretty strong unlike those flimsy foam padded double sided tape.

I tried putting that type of tape when I installed my type-c wind but it was too thick and noticeable so I ended up putting some strip caulking all the way around. Plus, it is waterproof.

Or you can use outdoor carpet tape they sell at Home Depot/ Lowes. Looks very similar to the autozone one. Has a light blue liner. Works really well and is made for outdoor applications
