CF installation questions!!

How long do I need to wait for the CF piece to set before I can drive my car without worry? I am installing the front CF lips and spoiler tmr with both adhesive and glue.

until the adhesive/glue dries up?

For my spoiler I taped it on after applying the adhesive and then drove it around for a while to help dry it. It worked perfectly and hardened quickly. Works best for me. then after a couple hours remove the tape and clean it up.

You tape them up with what?

i'd use masking tape or painters tape. Both wouldnt hurt the car's paint. And neither leave too much residue.
