Red 3m brand, out-door double sided tape . I mounted my stock wing with this same tape and nothing else and it didn't fall off the car going 110 so probaly the best for installing eyelids imo.

i got my eyelids for my sedan as well and I used the Scotch® Exterior Mounting Tape 4011

I had them on for about 6 months now and I've been through the car wash many times and i've been through rain and snow and they're still on.

3m body molding tape that can be found at any automotive store..... trick is in the prep.... make sure both surfaces are very clean, I usually wipe the surface with windex or rubbing alcohol before attaching.... it also needs to be somewhat warm, but I do not think you have that problem in Florida

+1 the red 3m tape is the same stuff manufacturers/bodyshops use to attach badges.

The surface must be very clean before attempting an install. Also be sure to wait for the area to dry out completely.
