did you use surface prep 94 (3m Tape Primer) ?

I used the adhesive promoter packs, alchohol packs and 3M tape provided by AM. They all came with the louvers.

Thanks! Word of advice, if I had to do it all over again, I would have bought the super duty 3M tape from Home Depot and used it instead of the tape provided. It seems to have fixed the front corner. Tip: I used the box that the louvers came in and traced around the louver and cut out a template. I positioned the template on the car and then marked off with painters tape. Good luck!
