Installing the carbon rear heat shield on a TC?

Does anyone have any good ideas about installing a carbon rear heat shield on the TC? The I have came with no holes for screews and no screews or install info, however the price was to good to pass up.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

drill some holes on the bottom where they should be, use 3m double sided tape around the top edes and drill to your car from the bottom secure with 3m at the top....

OR

you could get it rivited it on if you dont mind seeing the rivets etc...

if you want the simplest solution, 3m double side tape and drill small holes

If you look on eBay, some of the installs have staples. I'm not saying grab the one off your desk and use it, but more of an industrial type. It wraps under the bumper if I'm not mistaken, so you would do it to the underside of the bumper.
