I'm about to install sideskirts, lip, rear diffuser, rear spats, and I don't know what exact Double Sided Tape to use. I searched online but 3M makes tons of different double sided tapes. Web page, product number, name, anything would be helpful. Thanks.
 
Timely thread for me as I have the same question plus I would like to know where others have purchased it.
 
Found this info on 3M adhesives:

The conformable foam provides good contact, even with mismatched substrates. Available in gray and black.
5952 This family matches the modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of very conformable foam, providing adhesion to the broadest range of substrates, including most powder coated paints. Available in black.

4952 This family utilizes the low surface energy adhesive on a firm foam. Available in white.
4611 This family has a general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm foam. This family of tapes is typically used on metal substrates, and has the added feature of high temperature resistance, making it often suitable for bonding prior to high temperature paint processing. Available in dark gray.

Hapa88 thanks for the post, but some one out there has to know exactly what tape they used or is most commonly used when installing side skirts or front spoilers? help a brother out, or 2 since Dhalsim is also interested. Thanks.

Op, is it okay for me to post this in the owners section since everyone just asks random diy question there?

Anyone Use this stuff in the NSX-R rear diffusers? I don't want to drill holes in my rear valance but don't want the thing to come flying off at speed.
 
Lowes sells the stuff you want, 1 inch wide with the red backing. Make sure you prep well, and make sure both surfaces are warm.
