Folks don't realize that vibration has a negative affect on curing time; not as much as temperature and moisture but still, enough to cause issues over time. Driving the car within the first 24 hours can affect cure time.

The longer the better... but at least 24 hours cure time. If you could only read the instructions...

Threadjack - those the vortex side scoops? Those look really beefy and nice compared to the OEM and other aftermarket ones i've seen. Did you get things pre-painted or done locally after you received?

3m tape has come a long way from where it was about 10 years ago insofar as car applications. Still used 3m back then too for some bolt-on/spoiler stuff, but it wasn't as resilient as it is today!
