Soooo, I've been converted. My car looks like a damn turd compared to the rest in here though.

Also, it's a hole-less bumper tuck. I laid down 5-6 strips of body tape, pushed it against the crash bar and it held.

I didn't use a jack or anything. I laid down the body tape strips side by side and then I pushed the bumper up against them and held with a good amount of force for roughly 1-2 minutes. When I let go everything stayed. The tape I used was 3M tape from a body shop supply store.

Hmm, that looks clean. Let us know if it starts to peel off or doesn't stay. I like this approach better but don't know if it will stay.
It feels really solid. I pulled at it a little and it didn't budge. Supposedly its the same kind of tape used by shops to attach lip spoilers and what not. Those things don't budge. I knew there had to be a better way than attacking the bumper with sheet metal screws lol. The whole process didn't take me more than 30 minutes or so and no tools necessary other than a screw driver to remove the screws that hold the mounting tabs in place.
Just did mine today in about 5 minutes. I used zip tyes because i didnt have any screws and it was alot quicker.
it came out really nice
