I used 3m double sided tape on mine. Been on the car for 2+ years with no problems.

There's enough resistance in installing it that I think using the included mounting tabs is best to get it to fit flush. I've had mine installed for years and I'm attaching pics of where I installed my mounting screws. ...and yes, these things take a beating from rocks! The flash makes it look worse than it is, but those are all rock chips!

Fixed the orientation of the pics and added one the whole front end. I actually like the mesh in silver...sets it apart from the stock grill IMO and I really am all about the blacked out look, but the silver looks nice IMO. But since your car is red, the black powdercoat will look nice too!
