ok I contacted the vendor here and confirmed that you DO NOT drill of cut into the Seibon sides and that it is only 3m tape. So now, I tried 3m that I had from discount but I need to prep the surface and the CF better cuss atm my duck tape is sticking better than the 3m.

Anyone know the best way to prep for a 3m job this big? Really Dont want these coming off on me.

I drilled holes in mine on the top and bottom, then used the stock clips on the outer sides, just used a bit of tape on a few areas, fitment was good on mine.

first picture is with stock clips/rear tire
second is with one of two screws i used on the door jamb, my seibons had an indentaion, which is where i put the screw
third is stock clip/front tire
Only reason that I wouldnt use just tape is because i would be too scared that they would fall off

with a friend, I held it in place while he marked it around the back with a marker, drilled a small hole to see if it lined up right, then made it bigger and put the stock clip through. I know drilling CF, scary but he's put bodykits on befor so I trusted him.

Go to your local nappa auto parts store and telll them you need, double sided automotive molding (or clading) tape. Thats stuff is supper strong and used by the manufactuer. As for prep, clean both mating surfaces with a duplicolor prep wipe, which is alvailable at pepboys, autozone, orielys etc.
