Just drill holes threw it and zip tie that trick, that's what I did and it looks pretty cool to in my opinion

I had a buddy hot glue his since he didnt want to "mess" it up with zipties ahah

Is this lip urethane? If so use a urethane filler from checkers/autozone both carry it. But anyway that stuff works wonders! Previous owner removed the front license plate mount on the JDM kouki front bumper using fiberglass(Worst idea ever!) and it cracked where the FG was laid. Me and my brother used a urethane filler to repair that spot and a few others. We sanded, sprayed two coats of primer, sanded, two coats of Rustoleum high heat engine enamel(Yes that's right, that paint is the best paint ever created :bowrofl:) and now my bumper looks brand spanking new! :biggrin: Saved me from buying a new bumper. Also that urethane filler works on fiberglass too.

A little off topic but I too am Costa Rican :wavey: Pura Vida

I could be wrong on autozone carrying it :ohno: I did buy mine at checkers but the package looks exactly this one -

It's a urethane epoxy filler, it's two chemicals that you combine manually. Real simple stuff. I wish I took a good before photo of my bumper here's a before and after look -
You can see here just how bad the front bumper was, and just look at that split in the middle :ohno:

And the after shots could have been better :facepalm: , I'll have to take some updated ones
