Mmm i would not recommand that...

I've got the downforce lip and I've lost one on the road.

I've use screw attach, screw and double face tape and at a certain speed the bumper hole snapped and the lip touched the ground.

I don't have any picture of my installation but I'll try to give you some advice.

For the double face tape, you will see close to the visible portion their is a little slot all the lenght of the lip. This is made for double face tape. Find the right dimention tape, and apply it there.

For the screw, it may seem a little bit overkill but it's solid.

I've put some metal plate about 5" long, drill a hole in the middle and weld a nut on it. I've put it IN the bumper and bolted the lip on the bumper.

So the plate "sandwish" the bumper and the lip together for a really strong fit.

You could use some nut and washer too, but will require bumper removal for installation.

Hope you will understand me since my english is not perfect!

I installed my front PU lip from Bayson R without removing the front bumper.

I utilizes self tapping screws as well as nuts, bolts, and washers. You need to make sure that it does not fall off when driving as it would present a hazard to yourself and other drivers. I suggest using something more resilient than tape and plastic tabs.

I put mine on with all the bolts and nuts under the front bumper. was a bit of fiddle, but then I didn't raise the car or remove the stone guard (only pushed it aside a bit)

Hum no. It's way more solid than that.

The lip come with NO instruction or hardware.

If my car was not in winter storage I could take some pic but I can't

The lip have six hole and they are aligned with the 6 hole on the bumper. These hose have noting clipped or screwed.

Like I've told, I've made some metal plate with a nut welded at the middle for each hole.(6). And I've put those plate inside the bumper. After that I've bring the lip and screwed the bolts so the plate sandwish the bumper and the lip together.

Sorry for my crappy english.

okay so maybe some 3M tape with 6 screws and washers should be enough?
