I like the design though, nice and subtle. I wish I had a white FR-S for this.
Here's a little info about the 3M VHB tape we use taken from 3M's website:

3M™ VHB™ Tapes are high-strength bonding tapes and a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other mechanical fasteners.
Unlike screws or rivets – which join materials at a single point – high-strength bonding tape permanently adheres one substrate to another while spreading the stress load across the entire length of the joint. Once materials are joined with 3M™ VHB™ Tape a virtually indestructible “weld” is created.

If you scrape a speed bump, it should not just come off unless you were going much faster than you should have been.
