It was bolted on. I think I should of use tape and bolts together. Not sure if these were track tested, but we were going 105mph in a 40mph head wind between Reno and Las Vegas for the 86Expo. Too much downforce and shit starts to break apart.

I think what happened was the constant vibration from the road trip may have eaten away at the middle CF section and broke from there. One stress point, and everything usually falls apart. My bolts were still attached to the car, and some bolts got ripped off with some parts to my bumper.

I wish I kept the pieces now, I just didn't even want to see them, and have mangled CF parts in my trunk while I was on a road trip so I threw them in the dumpster. I kept the small PassWord JDM metal logo part though lol.
