Angry body kit FALLING OFF!!!!! help please!!

i finally got the nose to my wings west body kit on the other day!! its a great fit and looks really good!! but today i looked at the front and is starting to fall off!!!!! i have both sides bolted in, inside the wheel well, then i have bolts on the inside of the front nose part holding it to the body from underneath. so it def WONT fall off.... but the sides between the wheel well, and the bolts in the nose is starting to come off!! (kinda hard to explain where im talking about) but the double sided tape is barely touching. has anyone ever had this problem?! any ideas as how to fix it??
i know its secure, just looks kinda tacky to see a little space between the kit and the car! know what im saying?! any advice would be greatly appreaciated!!!

im not sure on how you preped the area when you put the piece on but did you use like a wax and grease remover everywhere the tape went. Cause that tape is real stong stuff and normally the reason i see that it doesnt hold is due to preparation.

I've had mine on for about 5 years with no problems.

Sounds like either the surface wasn't prepped properly or you didn't bolt/screw it up in the proper place which is causing excessive force trying to pull it away. When the front piece is located in the proper place, it fits nicely and the tape is just used to keep it in place. If you had to force the ground effect to the car then it could be it is not located in the right place... just a thought.
