Question Carbon Fiber Lip

Looking to attatch carbon fiber lip to front bumper, but am really trying to avoid drilling holes.
Does anyone know any methods to attach?

Front Lip

Front Lip
Depends on how that lip mounts to the bumper, if you don't want to drill, you're only option is double sided tape.

what's the hesitation with drilling? I would imagine the drilling is only thr underside of the bumper

You're drilling into plastic (bumper) and carbon (if the lip is real carbon), none of which will rust.
Use stainless steel hardware with anti-seize on the threads. Once it's installed, shoot some grease over the new hardware and you're good to go.
