Carbon Fiber install

Hey guys,

So I have some carbon fiber side mirror coverings and the side bumper vent cf coverings as well. What is the best, safest way to install them on the car? Just from the research I have done, it looks like double sided tape is the way to go but I wanted to see if anyone has done it any other way?

If you have used double sided tape, any one got any recommendations on any good brands that wont mess up your paint or leave to much residue?

Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

I recommend 3M double sided stick tape.
Used it to install my trunk lid spoiler and it works great.
