It's galvanized sheet steel, sold as roof flashing. I forget the gauge, it was too long ago that I bought the 50-foot roll.
And I used slotted hex washer head sheet metal screws, size 8x3/4. I've added a picture of them to the linked gallery; here's a direct link to that image.

They're not the most elegant solution, but they were the easiest, cheapest, most reliable way I could come up with for non-permanent attachment. They work fine for holding these mods to plastic bodywork; my first car, to which I performed the same mods, has had them hold up for over four years now and no sign of failure. I recommend choosing ones with the deepest thread bite you can for the size you've chosen. The one in the pic is not as good as the previous ones I got.
Thanks for the question! I've added those details to the original post.
