I used this stuff from autozone called goop...it comes in a red package and has a red tube. Good stuff as far as 3M tape I tried that and it was not very successful. Its alot easier taking your bumper off as well.

Is there a way to minimize permanent damage to the bumper if i ever decide to remove the TTE lip? or must I paint the front bumper upon removal?

I think that it might be possible to take it off without repainting. Might take some patience and a heat gun but it can prob be done.

I got that at my local auto paint store but it might be available at autozone or other auto part stores if not go to a place that does auto glass and they'll have it. This is what they use for your windows. I used this stuff on my jp roof spoiler and my tte lip and both are not moving after 1+ years of being there.
