I went to a couple of bodyshops and they both confirmed if you want it done right you would have to screw in the kit at the wheel well then use a fiberglass adhesive to mount the other end to the bumper(cutting and re-fiberglassing needed to make fitment sweet looking). Hope this helps.

Jeff and Steveo had to fiberglass something on the back of the rear corner, the screw should be mounted front the back side of the bumper ... you will have a clean snugg look when done .... reason for the screw on the back of the bumper so that nothing shows from the front unless they just wanted a rugged look and screwed it in from the front (don't look that great if you do this)

I had mine screwed only from the wheel well and some kind of glue(supposedly same kind used for the windshield) to hold the other end...nice and snug and no hole in the bumper. But, he also said, if you wanted it done right you would have to put a screw into the bumper.

Sorry, I don't know what brand of glue it was. All I know was he went to an auto glass shop and got some. Check your local auto (windshield) glass shop. He packed a lot of glue between the lip and the bumper and held it there for a few minutes to keep it in place. It's holding up great.
