1M front lip

Folks... I have a question. I recently bought a Slek front lip. Installed it... and really liked it. fitment was excellent and i thought it added that "specialness" to the car. however, on day 1.... I was driving on the highway and the moment I hit 80MPH, it happened. the front of the lip unstuck and the air bent it down to the ground. next thing i know i look in my rear view and see half the lip getting run over by the car behind me... ugh... to say the least. basically i found that the tape just failed. the strange thing was that once it was installed, it seemed so stuck on that it was nearly impossible to unstick. i tried pushed down on it and couldnt get it to let go. however, the pressure at 80mph (and maybe because it was a hot day), was enough to make it unstick. As a follow up, Slek and HP Auto has been working with me to try and replace my lip... but not sure that is what makes sense. Thoughts on this?

Here is my question for all of you with lips. Should i buy another Slek and try again? or is there another easier and cheaper solution you all like?
