CME Valence and Berger panel question
I will be installing my CME Valence this evening. I have already had my exhaust tips cut off and have bought 3m Double-Sided car trim tape. It was the strongest they had at O'reily's so I hope it will work. However, I do NOT have the bolts that were on it originally. Here are my questions:
-What should I use to clean the bottom of the bumper and the valence to make sure it sticks?
-Can I use any other regular bolts that I see laying around my garage?
-Will I need to put the bolts on right after I tape it on, or should the tape hold it?
I will also be doing my own "Berger-style" panel. I have already bought bondo and Gloss black ( I think the gloss will look more factory). I know I need to sand it all down and rough it up before I bondo, etc. Here are my questions:
-What bolts do I need to remove to get the panel off?
-Will my tail lights still work with the panel removed?
-Should I primer, then paint?
-How many coats of Gloss Black should I use?
-Should I clearcoat it afterwards?
Sorry for all the questions but I am more familiar with engine work than body work and want to make sure it looks good. Thanks fellas! ( And ladies too!)
Post any pics of Sebring Silver Camaros with Berger panels and/or CME. Thanks!

Thanks thats what I needed to know!
I'm still confused about what bolts I need to get though, I didn't really understand the description. Does anyone have pics or a part name/number? Thanks!
