What kind of glue should I use to install the small rear fins?

I would use dbl face tape for outdoor carpeting. I usedit on the raised lettering and it's worked great.

Silicone should work well also.

this stuff should probably work best if you can find it...

TWRD uses it to attach their front lip - so it should be a pretty strong bond while still safe for paint

IMO I would just use the screws that the fins come with though because those work fine (are we talking about the same thing? - the fins on the back of the car on the outside of the brake lights? the ones that dont come on the exige.. only elise?)

Not all cars had the fins screwed down. Earlier 05's, maybe some 06's don't have screws and the fins are just glued on. Already lost one, but the dealer glued a new one on for me. They used some kinda of tacky black glue, almost looked like tar, not sure what it was. I dont have the guts to screw a sheet metal screw thru the plastic and thru my clam to keep the fin on. I rather it fall off and glue a new one on again, when it happens.
