Everyone with a CME come in!
Everyone with a CME come in! Ok, the other day I noticed that part of my valence started to come off so I re-did the whole thing and it just seems like the 3M double adhesive tape isn't holding to good. Yes, I'm using the strong stuff with the red film too. I also cleaned the bumper and valence really well before applying the tape too. Is there anything else that I can use that'll hold better? I remember a moderator on here with a black 97 SS and a blue formula had a CME on his Camaro. He said he used some kind of auto glue that holds really good, but I can't find that thread anymore.
I had mine painted and installed by my bodyshop. They even attached it and filled the holes where they attached to the stock bumper. Thye also used a type of adhesive between the two pieces.

sounds dumb but on mine i ran a couple small sheet metal screws up through it if i ever took it off you would never see the couple small holes underneath the bumper and its not coming off trust me i just backed into a landscaping rock and cracked the plastic but never came loose from bumper
Mine has been fine and im using the same tape, also the 3 push pins. Only prob im having notice today is rock chips behind the tire. I wanna get some of the clear tape to protect the paint but I dont know where to get it from.
mine looks terrible. what did you guys do to remove the 3m tape? i have a lot of it and it looks like crap. i would like to mold it into the bumber this yr have you guys considered molding yours in? how would you mold it in with out it cracking because it my buddy that recently got out of tech school says it might crack from flexibility issues???

Blended:
I used the 3M on my CME, then my dual valance and then my CME again with no problems. Could be the climate...
I run my full blended bumper now but I think the sheet metal screws sounds like a good idea I'd use if I had the issue...

Just curious as I'm hoping to buy a CME soon, what do the 3 clips look like? I've been looking for an OEM CME and most the people who are selling them don't have the clips. Are they just the big body clips like the ones that hold the front bumper on? Anyone have pictures?
Sorry to thread jack but i figured i'd ask here rather then making a whole new thread. By the way, no offence 6LE when i said I want OEM, just wanting it to be close to original as it can. If I don't find one, i'll definitely be coming to you!
