I don't know if 3m double sided tape would do the trick. Exposure, weight, vibrations, etc... But, i would suggest bringing the lip with you to a paint shop. Ask if they can install without using screws, bolt or rivets. That way you have a professional opinion.

if its a lip try to get the OEM clips that fit into the stock bumper holes then if you have to modify/fabricate the clips to hold the lip and use 3M water resistant tape to tape the lip on also

I'm going to have questions like these in a week or so because I too will try to install my own lip kit that should be on its way.

yep, you should be able to use the OEM clips you use on the bumpers for the OEM lips, and maybe you'd have to put some holes in the lip. yeah, i think TornActive has free ground shipping right now, and i'd recommend them to order from

You do have to drill 4 small holes but it's in a place where you wouldn't see it anyway, even if you decided to take the lip off. Plus if it's OEM you don't have to worry about it affecting the lease.
