24hr update. The spoiler has lifted ever so slightly on the far left and right sides as I did not clean the area as good as I should have before tape application....it's maybe 1/8th of an inch. I have a brand new roll of 3m vhb tape and I can restick it but the spoiler isn't gonna come off at all. I drilled the inside of my trunk just Abit to take advantage of the other holes/bolt attachment points as well. Outside of ripping it to pieces there's no way it will fall off. The center of the spoilers double stick tape is still holding well and it has 8 bolts holding it on. I know what I did wrong , I cleaned the truck with Goo gone to remove some of the old sticky film left over from the old spoiler and didn't wipe it off enough. Goo gone has an oily base to it and I didn't clean the trunk with a degreaser very good before I mounted the new one and caused the 3m tape that is included with the spoiler to not get a proper stick......that's on me. Like I said I have a new roll of 3m VHB tape but I will let it sit on the car a few weeks to let the spoiler shape to the car Abit in the sun and heat as it has ever so slight of a upward bend to it. You can't tell the tape has unstuck very much but I can tell as it sat almost flush with the trunk before and now has ever so slight of a gap and I can see the tape. So , lesson learned ......don't be in a rush and clean the area well before using double sided tape. I had the wife on my case and attempted to speed thru the install to get her off my back......
