Rear Wing Installation, Which 3M tape?
Installing an AC Schnitzer wing and need to know which product to use......

3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape PT1500, Black, 60mil or 3M™ Pressure Sensitive Acrylic Plus Tape EX4015, Black, 60 mil???

I know to use the 60mil because the tape recess area on the bottom of the wing measures 55mil deep.

Good thing I measures the 3M tape I have in the garage, it's 45mil. Wing would have ended up on the side of the highway!!!

Thanks in advance. JC

I remember looking for 3M double sited tape in the states, and you guys have one for automotive. I would assume that would work best? Here in Canada, we only have 1 type of 3M double sided tape. The peeling was red, and I've used it to tape on a spoiler for my other car and it's been holding up after 3 years.

Mine is 3M. Not sure exact thickness. Clean with alcohol before install.

Nice. I could not justify the 4.5 times cost of the CF wing vs the ABS plastic just for looks and the 1 or 2 ounces weight savings on a 5K lb X.

So yours is a rep, or real ACS?

Mine is a rip off. I think the cost was only $200 or so.

PO installed it, so sorry I don't have more info.

That's a lot for a rep wing. I got mine on FleBay for .99c + 12 shipping. Placed a bid on the auction and I guess no one else wanted a rep ACS spoiler.
