Double Sided Tape!

I am sick of my side skirts sagging off of the side of the freakin car! Does anyone know a better place to get double sided tape than that white foam stuff at wal mart?? I need a tape that won't mess up my paint..

Try at a auto paint store or at a home depo or something. I had my side skirts screwed in and then molded on top of that.

dont use foam double sided tape it sucks. Use the 3m clear double sided tape made of plastic very very durable and it wont ruin your pain I got 3 small rolls for 12 bucks and it did both of them. And it wont leave that stupid foam residue when you take it off cuz I know its a bitch to take it off the paint.
