I purchased more 3M tape, but haven't had the balls to try them again. I am afraid they will come loose while driving and get destroyed. I know others here have them, so I have hope. Just saying if I had to do again, I wouldn't have purchased them.

3dCarbon sends the cheapest grade 3m tape with their kit. Don't even bother using it. 3m makes several grades of their double sided tape, I myself wasn't comfortable using tape to have them hold exactly for the reason what happened to you. The fix, use windshield adhesive, it comes in a caulk like tube and just run a bead down the inside edge where you're supposed to put the tape, those babies will never come off unless you want to take them off.
As far as regrets, I have roughly $65,000 in receipts for mods I've done, and that doesn't include the $40K sticker price. But I did what I wanted to do, create a 1 off SLP ZL car, so my only regret is that I hope I don't take such a huge loss when I sell it.
