Not to be an ***-hole, but you need to slow down and watch your spelling...

Are you really looking for a "bracket slahs" or is that a typo? I cant even tell.

The stock kit doesnt use double sided tape and screws, it uses a wierd combination of tabs and slots. There's pieces that attach to the body that the tabs from the kit are suposed to slide on to. You're body shop guy is just trying to be "factory". I'm running the stock rocker panels on Epic and just useing double sided tape. It'll be fine.

the 3m tape will hold as long as everything is clean (that's what the factory uses on the side moldings on most cars)
