Hi, just received my boot lip (finally!) I was wondering if anyone has any info on how to apply this to my car? 3M, bonding or anything else? thanks

I had mine bonded on, you may come out one morning and find it gone stuck on with 3m. My body shop bonded mine on with bonding they use for bonding car windscreens in looks perfect..

You need acrylic body mounting tape. Most auto shops will sell them, if not, you can find it online. You'll also need a small packet of adhesive promoter to apply onto the mounted areas.

you can pick up 3M tape which is what most body shops use at Advanced Auto, Auto Zone or most other auto parts stores in the body section. It is strong and very durable.
