No, its just that those products have a less than stellar reputation and history for falling the F off.
Word to the wise, Rexpeed uses fake 3M tape products and will not work. I would take ALL of their tape off and use the proper, REAL, 3M tape and/or pick something up from Andrew.
That will be a mod that only you will be sporting (between us EB folk).

JoeyB and I noticed that they are not using actual 3M tape. Its a cheap knock-off.
Also, both of our vortex generators started to lift with their tape, my gurney flap flew off at freeway speeds and some other locals have had issues with their products falling off.
We have attributed this to the poor quality tape they provide. When we had to re-do Joey's generator and used REAL 3M tape it was quite obvious in appearance, tackyness and quality that Rexpeed is obtaining black market tape which is branded "3M" on the backing tape for their products.
Gotta save a buck? Well it only cost us $6 for a roll of proper foam core, double sided tape to do the job properly.
If you ticky-tacked on their spoiler thing with the provided tape then I am warning you that it *may* start to lift, fail entirely at freeway speeds, or some combination of the two. (Based upon my personal experience with their products and adhesive tape)
