I screwed the coroplast to the plastic, outside edges of the car such as the front bumper, both side skirts, and the rear bumper. Then for the "inwards" parts, yes i used Zip ties because I didn't want to make this a permanent installation. I've seen another red del sol from "CleanMPG" drill directly into the metal frame. So as far as durability, time will tell.

In terms of ripping, I was concerned about that, that's why I tried to make the hole from the zip tie closer towards the mass of the coroplast as possible (instead of near the edges where they could rip easier).
