When I installed my fang cover, I also scratched my paint up. A trick I figured out was to use some thick heavy duty duct tape and stick it to the inside of the fang cover, leaving some spots exposed so I could lay down some 3m double sided tape. That way, there was no surface of the carbon backside exposed that could scratch the paint, and there was still enough 3m tape to hold it super tight.

Also, another trick for non-black Z's - I spray painted some plastidip down on the bare paint, masking off the bumper and the forward section of the fangs, so that it only laid down a strip of plastidip nearest to the parts that would get exposed. When you put the fangs on, you'll see what is exposed. If you lay some plastidip, you'll never see it. It's lasted a long time too!
