How do you get the rear to stay in place on the bumper......I have to go and redo mine every 3 months or some cause it keeps on falling and sagging down. How did you secure yous on there?

another suggestion I would give you is to go to a local body shop and ask if you can buy some of the bonding cement. its a two part compound that will pretty much permanently attach any body panel to a bumper or other part of the car. I don't remember what its called but once I talk to my brother ill ask cuz we used it on his body kit and have had no problems with it since installation

Two self tapping screws underneath (where the dimples in the rears are), and 3M heavy duty exterior mounting tape all around the rest of the kit. It's been nearly 8 months for me without any problems.

Did you make sure to sand down the area where you apply the tape?
