Default ZR1 Skirts without drilling? Can I use 3M 06382 double sided tape?

I really like the look of the ZR1 skirts, but also really hesitant to drill my car. Has anyone ever used double sided tape to hold it up? Will the downforce yank it right off? How do they attach at the ends?

I'm thinking of something like this that I recently used on my VW to tape the side molding back on.

This how I have mine on, 2+ years no issues. Of course they are screwed with the right fasteners on the front fender and rear q-panel. The factory are "pop" riveted to the rocker, figured I would try this and if need be I could always change. But I see no reason to ever.

If your gonna use tape , use 3M VHB. With a clean surface, this stuff doesn't let go of anything.

The front and back are held on by screws anyway, (underneath on the front with factory location screws and on the rear flap inside the wheel well). it's only the side that would be taped. The weight of these things is so light I don't see why you couldn't with body molding tape.
