3m doublesided and clips in the wheel wells were all I needed. the 3m tape is plenty strong too, are you sure it's grabbing onto the stock bumper OK?

Elite is an unknown quantity at this point

3m clear plastic double sided tape is all it takes and 4 screws, I use the tape all the way around

I put some screws underneath the bumper to hold my rear in place. Better safe than sorry.
