Default how is an slp grill held in?

i got a used one at a good price and there is 2 sided tape all over the back of it,so i'm assuming that it is held on with 2 sided tape. is this correct?

I used 3M emblem adhesive in strips. Worked like a charm but originally they were held on through drilled holes in the bumper cover with pinecone fastners. I didn't want to drill...

Suppose to be held on with push pins... Notice the holes in the grill...

Some of them are push pin/christmas tree style fasteners, others are double sided tape.

In all honesty, drilling isnt that much of a problem. Just getting a drill to angle right for the upper outside holes - is (esp if you leave the front end on). If nothing else, take a dremel and hack off the heads then super glue them onto the grille. If the thing comes off with 6 pins vs 8 you screwed up lol.

apparently i got the two sided tape version,cause there are no places on the back of the grill that look like any push pins or any type of clip could have been there dosent look like any have been broke or cut off either.thanks guys i'll be sticking this on tonight.
