Default Rear wing end blades / End Caps

First, sorry for all the newbie questions. Just trying to learn from others before I make mistakes.

I am swapping out the end caps on the rear wing to some carbon fiber accented pieces. I guess they are held on by 3m tape. Kind of wish they were bolted on, but dont want to add that modification. Anyone made the swap and gone with tape vs adhesive to allow it to be reversible? Ever arrived home missing one? Any recommendation for a tape that will hold through anything?

Thank,
James

Default 991.2 GT3 winglets are held on only by

3M double sided tape. Heat them up before pulling them off.

I have read that the insert for the screw holding the GT3RS end blades on has very weak adhesive and it's easy to break the insert out of the CF. So, I would be careful when you remove it.
