I would try an epoxy or drill another hole(on the bumper) and zip tie it.

Haha Super Glue wouldnt be one of your best options. Its pretty much do you want to ghetto it or fix it.

Id attach a small piece of sheet metal to the bumper cover and drill a hole through it - Id use two rivets on either side of the factory hole to hold the sheet in place, bracing it together.

Glue isnt going to hold ****...

30 bucks will get you a new bumper at certifit. Scuff it up and spend another 15 on some duplicolor and call it a day.

I've got zip ties all over my bumper, Thats pretty much all thats holding my front lip on too. If you're clever you can hide them pretty good and no one would be able to tell.

SEM makes a great and very strong bumper repair adhesive they sell it at most automotive refinishing store such as carquest. ive used it several times and it very easy to use and only cost $10.

If you saw a certifit unit you could not tell the difference as they are oem copies. Even the radiator support I got was a perfect match.

certifit should change their name to sorta-fits. they have some of the worst quality replacement parts, when compared to oem. their parts arent built with the same tolerences as most. half the time oem/ aftermarket lips will not fit correctly against them, but fit perfect against an oem bumper cover. if your gonna buy aftermarket parts you should try action crash or keystone, and make sure you ask for capa certified parts or better yet call lkq and buy a used oem unit. haha certifit, ask a GOOD bodyshop about them. also their are many more steps required BEFORE painting a bumper cover. just scuffing it, is not the correct procedure.

I have an SiR lip, I doubt that the Certifit bumper would fit it.
