Best Tape/Version for Front Splitters?

Hey guys. Been searching through some posts, but can't seem to get a true consensus…

What is the best tape/version ( Ex: many different versions of 3M) to use for front splitters?

What adhesive promoter would you use?

I have been wondering if the Gorilla HD is better. I used their HD outdoor giant tape on my pool cover and its amazing.

imo tape is to close gaps and help with fitment. Use nuts and bolts and washers to make it structurally sound at highway speeds.

Another opinion of mine is the tape manufacture isn't as important as the prep and using a heat gun after the part is applied to activate the glue.

Agreed highly recommend VHB 5952 and use the 3M adhesion promotor

for the front, 3M heavy duty (car/water proof) and re-use the four mounting points to the bumper if the splitter allows you too. This should be plenty if the fitment is good. However, if you still need to adjust the ends, use some good self tapers but dont over tighten.
