What type of tape is on it?

Is it 3M double side? The heavy duty version?

make sure to clean the surface real well before sticking it to the paint as in no wax where the tape will be...clean the side skirt as well.

Don't take your paint off to bare metal. You're just asking for rust holes later on.
