I can understand using 3m tape on smaller spoilers, but this one is pretty big, heavy and sticks out pretty far. But it doesn't hurt to try 3m tape.
Here are the instructions fron "TRDSPARKS"

Yeah I have it on mine and I really like it man. But honestly, I think you can make the car look good either way.
The spoiler makes cars that are closer to stock (like mine) look better, but if you have your car lowered and with aftermarket wheels you can really make it work without.

Yea, when I bought the car in January 2011, my dealer had a $1000 worth of free upgrade but it expired in december 2010. I was going to get it as an add on for the additional $440 bucks at that time. Its pretty much summer time, and its time for some exterior mods.

i like the wing
unless u are pro...get the install kit so make sure it gets drilled in correctly/correct place
longo said it took them an hour to put it...but my mechanic friend at toyota corp said it would only take him a few minutes because its easy

I'm waiting for an aftermarket spoiler to come out. I just don't like the way the OEM looks.. but it does improve the rear end a bit.. just not enough for me to justify a purchase. Something close to the Zelas spoiler would be ideal.

i like how the lip spoiler is more prominent than the tc1's lip, but looking at it from top to bottom( the typical angle you were look at it usually when you open the hatch) seems to curve up which i dont like.
while the first gen looks too curvy without a spoiler of some sort, i like how the the angle makes it so that you dont really need a spoiler IMO to look "right". besides who knows if in the future there will be a pedestal spoiler that will look better or worst. once you commit to the lip you might have a harder time going to another version.
