If you attach the flics with tape, wouldnt that damage the paintwork?
Wherever you buy the flics from, they will include the 3M adhesive tape. It's usually for automotive use, same as the rear spoiler. It won't damage your paint, and to remove it: heat it up with a hair dryer and peel slowly.
FYI I am not the owner of the pictures either just know this for a fact.
I looked at getting the OEM rear flics but they come glossy black and I really did not want to drill holes to mount. Like Polar.C43 I have been looking for rear flics and I did find a company called Future Design USA. I had placed and ordered with them but when the pulled the Carbon Fiber flics and inspected and it was in poor quality. The refunded my money and pulled the product off the website and are considering if they want to continue with the product as they said it is very expensive to manufacture. After doing more research I was pretty much coming to a dead end. I stumbled on JC Sportline. I am not one that order's stuff off Aliexpress or Ebay. I took a chance as they seem to be a pretty big company. The quality of the carbon fiber is pretty good but was not my ideal method of installation. I would of preferred the flic to be thicker and to be mounted in front of the vent instead of edge of the vent. Anyways installation is simple with 3M tape I purchased as I didn't know how good the double sided tape was that came with the flics.

Could you elaborate on the "method of installation"? Also it doesn't have a store page, did you just chat with them and send via paypal or something along those lines? How much were they?
The installation was very simple. I receive the two flics and it already came with double side tape on them. I opted to remove them and apply the 3M tape I purchased. First you need to clean both surfaces on the flics and vehicle. After washing both down with soapy water. Clean the area using Isoproply alchohol to remove any other type of residue that may still be there. I ran a new strip of 3M tape on the flic on one side only. The side that is going to contact the bumper. I would pull a small bit off the protective covering off the 3M tape at the top and bottom. I would line up the flic on the bumper making sure everything is line up they I want it and then I would press on the top and bottom where the 3M was peeled away and when your ready are sure that is where you want it? Pull the rest of the red 3M protective covering off and apply pressure to the flic so it adheres to the bumper. I took an extra step and I used a heat gun and heated up the flics so that the 3M tape makes a good bond to the bumper. If your not happy with it the easiest way to remove is using nylon fishing line and saw between the flic and bumper slowly and you might need to apply some heat. The cost was $246.26 USD and that included shipping. I live in Canada. I contacted them via email and they sent me a link and I paid by using my credit card. I hope this helps?
