I faced a similar challenge with the nose on my Cheetah. I guessed that the biggest challenge of using an adhesive mounted material would be the combination of weight and high temps overcoming the adhesive. So I selected a relatively lightweight fabric consisting of fiberglass cloth with adhesive on one side and aluminum foil on the other. I've run it for two years in the hot southern USA and see no signs of drooping. And the reflective aluminum seems to be protecting the painted exterior surface.
