Really, those M3 tape works for me (for side moldings). Was there any wax on the trunk lid even from car wash soap? Usually a quick wipe down with alcohol cleans it well. Also, did you install it with the tape fully exposed or did you peel off the ends, set it in place, then pull the rest away underneath it? Also is it just white foam double side tape for grey automotive grade tape?

GREY AUTO TAPE. IT NOT WORK FOR ME, QUITE COST THOUGH.

I forget to add, if it's cold outside (less than 75*F) it might not stick well. I used them for moldings and emblems and it held for years.

Waiting untill summer? Or heat gun?

A hair dryer should do fine, better in a warm garage. Waiting until summer is best, but I know many of us can't wait to install new parts

Also, please post some pics of your TRD lip once it's on, I haven't seen it on a black Camry before.

Okay. I was thinking might need some bolts for secure,...

I think only the raised spoiler with LEDs like mine are bolted.

Also, I just found a thread on these TRD spoilers.
Where can I find this spoiler?

Enjoy your new TRD lip

Be sure to THROUGHLY read the directions for the tape. You may want to go online to 3M's site as well.
