What is the best way to mount the Wing West body kit? Should I use screw for all the pieces or urethan it to the car?
 
The WW kit comes with heavy duty double sided tape already installed and ready to use. I suggest using the double sided tape as well as some screws to help secure the pieces to your car. On my front air dam, I used some windshield adhesive under the middle to help hold it in place. This stuff holds like steel and comes in a caulk tube so it's easy to work with. Just don't get it on your hands! I suggest having an extra person on hand to help you line everything up and even a third to stand back while you are placing the parts to help make sure everything is straight. It's too hard to tell when you are right up on the car working on it.
 
As I have mentioned before, water will collect in the rear spats after washing or rain and will put stress on the piece pushing it downward. Quick fix is to drill a hole or two at the inner corner where no one can see so the water drains out during the above situations.

I would suggest doing a search as this has been covered before and there are some good tips and info on those threads as well.

One problem you'll find with the WW rear spats is proper fitment of the corner piece, it seems to "pop" off if not fitted correctly. I've solved this problem using a heat gun and holding it to form.

Email me if you need more info.

Isn't the double sticky tape scary?
I have always wondered what speed my parts are going to start peeling off at. I've been to 150 and nothing so far.
