Underneath the bumper, I've got small L brackets that are double sided taped to the bumper with holes and speed nuts in them. I'll mount the bottom half to the L brackets.

I have similar brackets for my front lip


For the top portion, yes, I'll use double sided trim tape so that it will not scratch the paint.

I'll also most like apply a thick layer of plastidip on the bumper to protect from scratching as well
