So a while ago my tabs broke off due to constant rubbing from my wheels when making sharp turns. Ever since ive been using zip ties to hold it up to my fender. However it hasnt been working great as it has broken off twice already resulting in half of the part where it meets with the fender being burnt off from contact with my tire. I was wondering if any of you guys have any better solutions to securing my bumper.

Buy a new bumper.

There really isn't any way to fix it that I know of. What they're gone, they're gone.

I'm not exactly sure what tab you're talking about, but if you mean the mounting hole at the side upper corners of the bumper, which connect to the front end of the fender, the only thing I could suggest as a solution is to epoxy something that works or drill some holes and use some zip ties until you (1) solve the problem that is causing your bumper to be eaten away and (2) get a new bumper (only after you solve the first issue...).

Yeah thats exactly what im talking abt. And thats exactly what i did. A friend of mine suggested metal zipties. I was thinking about trying that. The zipties I was using were just plastic.

i'd use plastic. Easy to find for sale, cheap, easy to remove and replace if needed. Use more than one if you need more than one. Well, unless it's still going to rub.

Sounds like you really need to solve your rubbing issue.
