Sorry for reviving an old thread.

I tried installing mine that i bought from rotary13b1
I lost the adhesive that was sent with it so I purchased exterior strength 3m tap from the hardware store.
The adhesive doesn't stick well to the plastic.
So it eventually all came loose.

I must have a regular bumper and not an air dam version — Because my crest is extremely loose when it is pushed into place?

I'd be real hesitant to just have it on with the 3m tape seeing as it came loose, using what I would've assumed was stronger tape.

Perhaps in need to do those double tape adhesion?

Also these misssion pics would be awesome

The front accent is going to need more than just tape (at least mine did). A screw on either side where shims would go according to others -- mine didn't come with shims -- works well enough. Mine has stayed secure for 9 years (I can't believe it has been that long).

The rear should be fine with just the tape. I eventually went with the LED setup and think I resecured mine with RTV when I did the kit.

I can't find a screw that will suit the small hole. Right now I have some zip ties keeping it from not being lost. But it's still not seated right.
