Safe tape to tape cardboard to my car?

Alright. I'm thinking I'm going to try some epic aeromods on my Civic just for experiment's sake. They will look ridiculous, but when gas costs $4-5/gal in a couple of years I might be able to stomach some pride to save some bank on my 260 mile drives to/from school. Anyway, I'm just in planning stages right now, and I want to know what the best tape to use is to tape cardboard onto my car body that can withstand maybe 65mph...and any mounting techniques or whatever. Some things I'm going to try out and do some tests on (maybe not until Spring, but I think I'll do it!) are:

- full lower grille block
- rear wheel skirts
- deck lid extension or some kind of extension from the trunk
- kammback type extension from the top of my car as far as I can while maintaining rearview vision.

Anyway, thanks for suggestions on materials and techniques!
