I was supposed to attach it to the seat post with a provided clip but I like to live dangerously so I attached it to the frame with zip-ties instead. The duct tape is there to prevent the frame from getting scratched and the grip tape keeps it aligned and from moving around.
Installing fender on my bike required some improvisation

I installed several fenders on several bikes this way, and they are keeping up. Impressively sturdy.

Yeah this sort of DIY customization is a common theme on my bike. This fits right in. The fender itself has a duct tape "paitjob" too just like the rest of the bike.

Came for a guitar, mildly satisfied still

I had to improv with mine, too. They're chrome fenders for an old man cruiser, but they aren't made for bikes with caliper brakes. I put them on, then couldn't stop. So, I had to pound some indentations in for the calipers. Problem solved.
