Default Buying 3M tape

Could someone send me a link to a site that sells the double sided tape that is used on most quarter scoops?

You MUST use the adhesion promoter (also on that page) if you want it to be the strongest bond. You must also clean all the parts and car with pure alcohol or something like laquer thinner. DO NOT apply your parts to the car in direct sunlight on a hot day. Make sure it's warm but comfortable.

I bought a smaller lenth roll at a local auto parts store (Advance Auto Parts). Try a local store.

Thanks everyone. Just one more question though. What thickness should I get? I bought a roll of .030 thickness a while ago and it was to small, and the other two choices are .045 and .060. Which one is the thickness I need?

The tape I bought looks like it's the .030 thickness but I used it to mount two flat surfaces together. I have a 3D Carbon hood scoop that looks like it has the
.060 x 1/2 tape. The thicker tape would probably work better on the side scoops because of the curvature of the body. In that caseI would try an autobody supply shop.

I've been to several auto shops and all of them only sell the .030 thickness tape. Does anyone know of a specific retailer that sells the .060 tape? I am located on Long Island, NY if it helps anyone be more specific.
