Default What to use to secure a mesh grille to a Front Bumper Kit?

If you want to add a mesh grille to your front bumper kit what are you guys using?
I mean are you using a putty, hot glue gun, etc. to secure the mesh grille to the fiberglass of the front bumper??

haha, i have the bumper secured, the front bumper came with some kind of clay putty or something that held a wire in it that held the mesh grill to it securing it in place. Trying to find out what the clay putty stuff is.

when I cut out the stock black plastic stuff out of the opening of my civics bumper, I cut some lengths of bailing wire and bent a loop on one end. on the hidden side I would epoxy the bailing wire to the bumper, leaving half of it bare. when it was cured I put my sheet of expanded metal up against it from the back, wrapped it around and used all the pieces of bailing wire to hold it there.
