Billet Grill i bought a black billet grill for my camaro and i know it has the 4 narrow holes to mount it by screwing into the bumper, well i just had all the holes filled on my bumper, any other way to mount it besides drilling back into the bumper?

You're stuck with drilling into the bumper. So you filled all the holes and you're covering up that beauty with a billet grille?! Why?! To each his own I guess
IMO nothing looks better than a factory bumper with filled holes painted to match the rest of the body.
Do you have any pics of the bumper with the holes filled?

stick with the billet. I have it on mine and like it. I painted behind it black (white car) so it kinda blends in.

I don't Know if double sided tape would work since its kinda heavy, and not plastic. Like it would be nice to be able to mount it into the holes where the stick grille would go.

Dude, you are mounting a new grille, you have to drill screws in to hold it in place. There's no way around it. The grille will be hiding it anyways, so what's the problem here? You can always paint the screws black to hide them.
I personally hate the plastic **** that the factory passes off as a grille. Don't know how most guys stand it.

Because I don't want screw holes in the bumper, of there is no other way to mount it then drilling into the bumper then it will be up for sale or trade.

Sell your car while you're at it because there's no point in driving it because it will get door dings, rock chips, and mileage put on it. Such a shame for a car to be used.

you have to make new holes for ANY grille (SLP included) that you buy to mount it properly. You can use a shitload of tape on the vertical bars, but... it's not the right way to do it.
