I just got my ACS replica spoiler in, it came with the double sided tape (picture above). Do I need to add more tape? or is this tape strong and enough to hold the roof spoiler on? It seems rather easy to install , but any pointers before I try it this weekend????

Hola Chicagolab.
That tape is enough.
Clean the glass first
get someone to hold the spoiler on one side of the car while you align
the spoiler. then sit it on the glass.
press down and if you want put painters tape overnight.

That's it.

yep tape is enough...i had no issues with it (even at 100mph speed), until my tint installer insisted I take it off. So I had to wait 1 whole week for my 3M tape to arrive (bought online) so I can put it back on.

Just position it straight, and press down. Painter's tape is really usless so I'd just wait a couple of hours before driving around, esp if you drive fast.

You know, I had that much of tape, but what I failed to do was clean the glass really well, so one side started to pop up and I had to peel of the spoiler AND the tape and reapply. I highly suggest you clean the glass with some isopropyl rubbing alcohol and give it a mighty good scrubbing. Then attach like mentioned above.

glass cleaner worked well with mine

make sure you wipe the surface a second time, the main thing is to prep area clean of grease/dirt/dust
