Use a product called Fusor. It's made by the Lord company and holds like a bitch. You can get it from any well stocked autobody supply store and they'll probably be able to teach you how to use it. If they can't, PM me and I'll describe the process to you.

is epoxy really going to hold that to the car? i have the same bumper and am trying to figure out a way to mount it myself. the place i bought it from lied to me about how it attached to the car and wont return any of my phone calls, so im left to figure it out on my own.
octane motorsports .com sucks and are liars. dont do business with them.

Like I said, Lord Fusor. If you want to know more about it either PM me or start a thread. It's a relatively new product, but the only 2 part epoxy that is approved by most car manufacturers. It's a little messy, a tad complicated, but it holds like a bitch. I don't know if they have a product that will attach plastic to metal, but I can check. I'll give my Vo-Tech teacher a call tomorrow and if he doesn't know I'll call a guy I know at API in Butler.
edit: I can also suggest aircraft epoxy. You can buy it from aircraft supply stores. Aircraft Spruce & Specialty: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/search/search.php. Aircraft epoxy also holds like a bitch.

I don't see a problem with using screws as long as they arent visible. But yeah, any 2 part epoxy should be stong enough to keep the bumper support and cover together, I would think. 2 part epoxy, no matter which brand is no joke!

ok so i know how to attach the metal bumper support, now how about the side clip things that dont easily come off the stock bumper? thats where i was having the most trouble. i have no idea how to reuse those.
