Need help installing rubber lip onto my oem aero lip

I need to put the oem rubber piece onto my aero front lip. I need suggestions on two-way tape. What is the best tape to use and what size tape should I get. Also, does anyone know if I would cause more harm than good if I used actual nuts and bolts to install the lip instead of the plastic clips?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

double sided should work. But if you wanna be safe use the clips or bolts.

Looking more towards a brand of double sided tape. One that has a strong hold. Also looking to see I anyone had success with nuts and bolts over the oem clips.

Why this question ? i have the aero on my 11 gsr and it has the clips, is it better to remove the clips and install double sided 3m tape or bolts ? or did you just purchase a aero spoiler and it came seperate with plastic bottom and your asking how to install it, just curious cause im afraid that when it snows it looks like its gona fly right off thats how poor it looks with those plastic tabs thats why im asking, thanks.
Answer my question at the same time

I bought the lip and the rubber separate. I have no clips, so instead of investing the money in expensive clips that will pull out I'd like to use bolts. 2-way tape seems to be a must on this. I don't drive my car in the winter so snow is not a concern of mine.

My only fear is that if I use bolts and scrape it may crack the lip.

I've used the "3M - Super Strong Automotive Attachment Tape, 1/2" x 60" (03609)" and it works pretty well. The clips are better though, but I lost most of mine.
