Default Getting the bottom grill to stay in

I have always had a little problem having my bottom grill stay in with my fogs but I recently switched to a VRD grill but hit a possum the other day and now I can't get my grill in. It clicks in expect for the driver side it kind of just sits there. I was going to tape/superglue it on but wanted to know if people had a less ghetto approach to fixing it.

had the same issue, the tabs on the bumper get flimsy and since the vrd already doesnt fit 110% perfect, the result is a grill that will keep falling off

after 6 months of cursing the grill and most of the time running without a bottom grill, i got a 08+ bottom grill and called it a day, lol

I've got the vrd top and bottom grille.. To be honest with you a lot of people on here & and tC's in general zip tie their bottom grilles in. I used a small drill bit and put two holes in my bumper under the lip (where the top of the bottom grille meets the bumper) no issues what so ever. they're really thin zip ties too, and match the VRD grilles...

lol, i used to have that problem when my bottom vrd grill, i used to tape it...it held on a little, but when i got a new bumper it was all great x]. i would say zip tie it though, so it wouldn't come off and make you look stupid while driving and having masking tape exposed (personal experience lmao)
