OH YES! forgot all about this.... haha ill take some pics tomorrow for sure, gf has car today, im drivin the bike as usual now days.

The "Paper/Masking tape" is 2" Wide, off white color.. its more than strong enough to hold the panel to the car, rain is the only enemy after a certain time. but the adhesive is easy to clean up easier than other tapes, mostly because its a brand new car. so dont want any area messed up. Ive had luck with clear packing tape before but again, over time water is the killer, harder to redo and leaves nasty residue.

Im looking to take them off to do this as its been about a month and needing tape redone... might just start from scratch for the panels, also more accurate and form fitting, might be experimenting with small neodymium magnets for mounting this time around too.
