Js Racing front grill for GD3 mounting question

Hi everyone

Im just curious that how do you guys mount the js racing front grill properly.

I know need to use 3m sticky tape plus 4 screws on the top but is there any other ideas to secure it tightly?

I didn't like the idea of having screws or rivets showing so i fiberglassed some 8mm studs on the bottom side and drilled two holes in the bumper and just used some washers and nuts and then used 3m tape on the front.

i used 4 allen key bolts and 3m tape to secure it down. holds really tightly and no one will attempt to steal it.

i used the adhesive double side tape all over the front part of the grill and 4 screws.

I mean who else would steal it? Another Fit owner that mods their fit. There are too many regular fits that dont get touched so That item would stick out and I'm sure you probably already know most of the modded fits in your city.

I though the same thing about the 3M tape, but that stuff holds realy good. I went to Home depot and got the double sided 3M tape for outdoor use and put it along the top and bottom of the grille, I did also use the four screw holes for good measure but that thing is pretty sold.
