They sell 3m Double Sided MOLDING tape. Its for car moldings etc. It has a red backing to it. And yeah pretty much tape and screw it in is how you would do it.

i haven't put one on, but i've heard some say you might want to scuff up the places you are applying the tape.

Clean all the old tape off, clean the areas with alchohol, apply 3M molding tape, throw in some screws, and you're good

don't use the oem tire jack, you're gonna end up bending it.......i know from first hand experience.
buy a new floor jack, then jack up from the rear tow hook high enough to get the jack stands on the jack points.

make sure you get the grey double sided tape from 3m not the black stuff. the blacks good for some things but for the lip id use the grey stuff there really easy to get mixed up.
