does anyone know if the rear spoiler (flushmount) found on the SS models is only a bolt on? or does it come 3m double sided tape? Ive read on another post that somebody cut off the bolts and only used double sided tape, how would that hold up? would it be enough to hold it on there?

I don't think double sided tape would hold it on at highway speeds or through car washes.. But I can't speak from experience. When buying aftermarket spoilers I have always had them professionally installed and mounted.

Install it Properly, with Both the bolted studs and the 3M tape.

Sure it'll hold for awhile, then at some point let loose and maybe blow off going through the winshield of another car hurting or even Killing them.

Do it Right, or Don't do it at all.

As A&P said, "Do it Right, or Don't do it at all."

Here's an old picture that shows a bolt hole location.

Lets put it this way.

Tape it on you have less than 50% chance it will remain on. Bolt it on you will have a 100% chance of it remaining on.

Tape on an emblem is not the same as it is for a larger body part. Also many time people never get the surface clean enough to let the tape stick well. Too many of the Lund Scoops we sell come off due to poor prep.

If you are going to do this do it right and bolt it on. If you can't do it spend the money and have someone do it for you. You will save buying another one and repainting it after it comes off and gets run over.

if you drill it ,rust will come, but not if you touch up the bare metal with some primer and paint, just a dab will do it

If you drill cleanly then primer and paint the bare metal edges of the holes, rust shouldn't be an issue.
