Zip Ties! No adhesive at all, I made one hole in the "fog lamps" the spot where the fog lamps would go if they were there and put an I-Bolt through it with zip ties going through one layer of the coroplast. I then tightened the bolt and it snugged up the covers. I also had two zip ties going through the small holes on the side of the fog lamp cover that is already there to hold that side in.

For the grill block I did the same basic thing with zip ties around the license plate going through the grill and connecting on the back, with the pointy end I have a piece of string going through the hole that is already in the corner of the grill and the string runs to a zip tie under the license plate (it's not as clean as the fog covers but the extra zip tie allowed me to adjust tension).

If I can find the time this week I will do more work and post more pics of what I have done so far I apologize for the stalled progress just been busy traveling for work.
