3M tape thickness

I just received my carbon fiber spoiler from JBspeed and it comes with .45mm 3M tape while I bought 0.9mm 3M VHB tape on Amazon. Which one would you recommend for the install.

I guess the VHB would make a stronger bond but I'm afraid it will be too thick and will show up on the trunk.

Thanks

Just use whatever came with the spoiler. The difference in strength between the two in this application is irrelevant.

Whichever you decide to go with, I highly recommend using an adhesion promoter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks to both of you, I'll go with the thinner one and I'll also use the promoter.

Cheers
