I would highly recommend it.. 3M tape alone IMO would be insecure, I just used it for an extra precaution. I wouldn't want that ripping off if you ever hit a curb or a dip in the road, or possibly flying off going 100mph+ lol

Ebay has some of these for sale.. But it says it comes with just the black primer.. Did you have to paint yours UW to match?

And I may be missing the answer to this question.. Do we have to drill holes into the bumper?

I think you can use only 3M double side tape

How secure is 3M tape? The OP suggests that it may fly off since its not as sturdy as bolts.

However... I do see people with the All-Fit lips mounted with just 3M tape. So, it couldn't that bad. Would it?

I have the ebay ones. Not perfect fit and yes, you have to drill 3 holes per sides to install them. I also used 3M tape to make sure.

They were on black primer, and I painted them UW myself (tricoat paint)
