Default Cup lip installation... 2 sided tape or Goop! ?

I removed my regular lip in favor of a Cup lip.

Removal was rather difficult due to the presence of 2 sided automotive trim tape holding very nicely. Lip also came off cleanly with a little effort.

So to reinstall now...
Should I get some automotive double sided tape or could I simply use a small bead of Automotive Goop! ?

I redid mine with 3m double sided trim tape. I found it at Walmart in auto section, by bondo, fiberglass resin, 1/2" wide, got two rolls with some left over.

Walmart? Cool!
I "think" way too complicated than I should.

The cup lip doesn't have a recessed area like the own one for the double tape. There mite be a slight gap with cup spoiler. Mike

Mike duct tape would cover the gap

But really no gap with any thin d tape. : )

only issue is the last two plastic rivets that are tough to fit as the cup lip is thicker in the edges.

BTW I also run it with screws. Now if it goes it will be something spectacular.. you know running over your own front bumper .. : )

Duct tape is king : ). Saw an episode of Mythbusters on duct tape. It passed with flying colors : ). Mike

Porsche push tabs with a bead of silicone. Haven't lost it in 4 years.

I use the double sided tape with a bead of silicone to "mind the gap".

Definitly no screws here... I've ripped mine off twice the last two times on the track, so I'd rather it breaks free than ripping up my bumper. Of course it wouldn't be an issue had I kept the car "ON" the track

clips and tape are the ticket. Screws are no more secure, just a pain to undo on a low car. Clips by themselves won't hold it on at high speeds.
