I lean towards mechanical fastening as opposed to surface-to-surface bonding approach. Much easier to remove and re mount imho.
Since the size is quite smaller, there are areas near the foglight opening of the bumper cover that I may be able to use.

That's not to say I'm pushing for it, I'm just saying that in the future, as long as your surfaces are clean and oil free, the stuff does it's job well. I prefer hardware to adhesives though.Originally posted by BitterThey're literally flying canoes with boxer engines packed full of Molotov cocktails that rely on tampons and $10 screws to stay in the air and not kill you.

I see. I've only used automotive grade double sided tape as a secondary insurance, not a primary means of fastening. Maybe I'll add double sided tape for this project as well.

Bracket for securing the upper tabs to the cover:
