Having an issue with the lower grill, I installed 4 tabs utilizing the double sided tape, 1 on each side and 2 on the bottom. This is the second time 2 of the tabs have come off and the grill is cockeyed. Has anyone found a good mounting solution? Did you find another location to strap the wire ties to? Looks like there might be a section of the inner front fascia that I can loop a wire tie around and skip the mounting tabs, but I need to take everything apart again to see if that is possible. Did you screw the 2 lower tabs into the fascia somehow and if so how did you get an angle drill to fit?

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy more of the black mounting tabs in the same isle as the zip ties. I ended up using more than what came in the kit and haven't had any issue.

Did you use the double sided tape or screw the tabs in? It was fine for a couple of months but now the tabs keep popping off?

Don't use those worthless double sided tabs. They will keep popping off. Tie wrap it to some existing tabs. Here are a couple of pictures.

Perfect! Did you have to drill holes in those tabs or they were there already. I don't remember when I was doin the install.

the stick tabs that the grills come with don't stay on
I had to tie wrap to whatever I could, and drilled some small holes on the inside to pass the tie wraps through
