I dont have any pics, but i used a small piece of alloy u channel, drilled holes to match the body posts through one side , body clips to hold that and velcro on the top.
Simple and easy.

Will get a pic later for you.

Magnets work great. Get the rare earth magnets they are damn strong.

No holes in the body? I suggest Velcro. holds up in worse crashes than magnets.

The problem with velcro or stick on magnets is that the paint eventually peals off the lexan. On my Honcho I ended up with a creative use of decals to cover up the spots on the hood where the paint pealed.

Good point about the paint peeling.

Gotta lay down a few strips of tape to spread the area of adhesion.
