Securing Lip

OK thanks to Klepto i got an ABS lip(ebay one)

so What would yall recommend using to sercure it. since people have had trouble by just using 3mm double sided tape.

Right Now i got some SIlicone Glue, MOlding Tape, and Self Tapping screws. Will that be enough?

zipties? where would i put them. o yea i also had this ingenius idea of possibly gluing sheet metal to the bottom of my lip making like a bridge to the bottom of my car. Then screwing it to the bottom of the car.

i think no matter how u secure the lip... somehow gravity will find away to leave those securing things on... and just take the plastic that it can... leaving u lipless anyway. ABS is delicate.

someone said rivets, ive never had experience with a rivet....

i would take a dremel and make a bunch of holes and zip tie the shit out of it.

his car was smashed right in the face, the lip didnt fall off though, but i dont think he will be trying silicone and reporting back :S use the silicone used for fish tanks, that should hold.
