I am try to replace a few of the studs in my factory camaro spoiler. i have the stud kit but don't know what I should use to keep them in the spoiler. The studs are steel and the spoiler is fiberglass ( I assume). Any help would be appreciated!

JB Weld or 2 part panel adhesive will work.

I have, and would suggest using Six10 Epoxy form West Systems. It is a two part epoxy that will never come apart.

I've used JB Weld with good results.

I have fixed few 'glass parts by taping out holes or rebuilding with resin or fiberglass resin jelly.
If reinstalling studs, resin or 'glass would be my choice.
Drilling and/or taping solid fiberglass is pretty easy. You can also use resin for "loctite" if boss
is damaged the resin jelly is ideal.

ANY of the above suggestions done correctly should be stronger than the original somewhat fragile aged frp material would be anyways.
Two part panel adhesive with their instant mixing tubes & a proper 2 part application gun are a great choice for someone with a gun that regularly uses this stuff, Big expense if ya don't. I recently got a proper gun & some of the smart line adhesive from Finishmaster at Beach/ southside blvd at a decent price. Smart line adhesives are 30 something per tube instead of 40 something for the 3-m & seem to be about as good. I think their gun was around $40, rather than near $100 like I used to see some of these fancy caulk guns going for. Pretty much shoot it in the hole like you would caulk.
West marine stuff is great, but a little overpriced due to all the middlemen involved.
Traditional fiberglass resin & jelly is great as long as it's fresh enough & you may need to buy a lot more than you need for a small project if you don't have other uses for it before it goes bad.
JB weld is an epoxy that has been around forever, easily bought in small quantities & may be a better choice for you IF you don't already have or can use the other listed choices for other stuff.

I ended up using the 2 part JB Weld and it worked out great!
