I like the new plates and it was the back bumper where I drilled the holes.

Yes, cleaning is imperative to having it stick and for longevity. The only drawback is once it is sticked on there is no adjusting, so be careful! Other than that, I also used mineral spirits to help remove the old adhesive stuck to the bumper before doing the alcohol.

so did you use any screws. did you come from the back side or just tape. I am looking at putting one on but its an another brand. probably not a good of quality but looks nice. its about 1/2 thick so tape and screws were my thoughts coming in from the back side.

I used what came with the diffuser. The screws went thru the holes I drilled and I tightened it with the nut that came with it.

Resurrecting this thread. What kind of epoxy did you use? The majority of the 2 part epoxys sold in stores are very small tubes.

A bunch of TT's
I ended up hitting up my go to body shop. They mixed up a batch & used that to help stick mine on.
