Default CME tape

What double sided tape do you guys recommend to use on this cme? The corners have a gap between the valance and the bumper.

Mine is doing the same thing but only at the very edges, I'm just gonna drill a small hole and put a nut and bolt on there.

You also have to get it in just the right spot on the bumper. Little low or little high and you can press it on and it will look right for awhile but eventually pull away as the contour is shaped different.

Major PITA to find just the right spot since there is nothing to guide it off of but that's just how SLP designed it (not that there was anything else they could have done)...

Maybe a plastic rivet like what is used on the front bumpers would do the trick?
