Anyone successfully mount OEM rear valences without drilling into the bumper?
I picked up a set of used rear valences to go on my car, but I'm a little sketchy about drilling holes into my bumper. Is there a way to attach them with only the side screws for the wheel well and maybe an adhesive strip? If anyone has done this, hook up some tips please.
If they're OEM, i suggest you get the template and the screws that came with the valances and drill holes from there. For me I got some cheap replicas on ebay and i needa shave down the corners and use rivets
i doubt its possible and still have them stable. i didnt drill a hole in the back for that square-headed bolt, but did screw a small hole in the corner of the valance so the fit would be snug. the screw is hidden inside the edge of of the bumper. my oem valances didn't come with the hardware, but you can easily buy the nuts/bolts/screws at the hardware store.

That sounds like a reasonable compromise. I didn't ever want to have to take off my bumper and have some nasty holes on the rear, but if they're on the inside, it won't be noticeable...
