Default Attaching WW Grille

I took it off the car today b/c the grilles were coming out. I thought I could run out to Walmart, Advance, or Auto Zone to get some more tape to put it back on, but all they have is the thin 3m double sided tape, not the thick stuff on the Wings West piece. Any ideas on what I could use for this?

All I used on mine was the 3m tape... one long strip on top and bottom.
Held good... I could tug on it as hard as I could, and it was stuck on there.
...until a damn semi-truck tire hit it.
Oh well, I suppose a big tire flailing at the car at 75mph would've knocked it off any way it was attahced.

That is awful! Did it hurt you or the car badly? Was the tape pretty thick?
