I have always found the best double sided tape is the 3m stuff you have to pay a little more for it bug if is by fad the best out there mate, I use if most days at work but you needs to make sure both surfaces are nice and clean otherwise you will just be wasting your time and money on the tape as it will not hold, I always put the tape on the part and then warm it up a little with a hot air gun which just helps it stick abit more pal

Good stuff for the price. I had to re-fit my wind deflectors on my old Evo i used rhino seeing it was very cheap and was pretty impressed with how well it stuck on.
