Default Best way to fasten Lips ????

Any ideas or pics of how you guys have your lip spoilers attached would be greatly appreciated. I currently have one screw on each end of the bumper and am looking for another spot to at support.

thanx

this is a technical question, why would i get flamed??

Ya I want to stay away from the tape though because I want to be able to take off the lip during the winter months
I have self tapping screws, but the bumper is in the way of being able to drill and screw anything straight down into it.

self tap the sides of the lip (where it wraps around the bumper) by turning the wheels in the opposite direction so you can get access to the sides..

I have never seen the bottom of a aftermarket lip,
but on my oem lip I used big stainles steel bolts and
locknuts. I know that it is not going anywhare.
I think the bumper would come off first.

I would just go with some double sided tape. When its winter time just rip the bitch off of there. Double sided tape would be the best bet and if you want it to be really secure use some of those self tapping screws.

Why?

Lets make our cars look like ****. Smart enough I guess. Is it
that hard to buy some damn hardware bolts? It will cost about
$5 at any hardware store. You will save money in the long run,
and you wont look like such a ****** with part of your bumper
held on with tape.
