Could you tell me where exactly you bought it from and if it has a specific name or brand? Just 3m? Also, did you just lay it out all the way across and just stick it up? Turned out real nice.

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.

It should look fine.

You can do a mockup if you undo the bolts and have a friend hold up the bumper for you.

That particular piece of the bumper is pretty flexible.

Forgot about this thread. Yeah, just plain 3m body tape, gray with a red backing. I laid about 5-6 strips side by side covering the entire crash bar. Pushed up and held for about 5 minutes. Takes no time at all, and you don't damage anything in the process.
