Stainless steel mesh
Has anyone ever installed the stainless steel mesh grates over the fog lights, side panels ducts and vents in the back bumper. I can't seem to find a product that will stick to the steel and the fiberglass. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Fog lights I used double sided tape,front plate cover I used Velcro,front brake ducts stay in by themselves....I have nothing in the coves or back.

I bought a complete set last year from ebay. Very nice quality stuff. Front brake ducts are held in place by the shape of the duct and the "tube" going to the brakes. Rear "grill" screens are held in place by
3M double sided tape. The inserts have a pre-bent lip onto which the tape is applied. This lip with the tape on it adheres to the body. It's a snug fit and the tape is very strong so working with this was a PIA. But it looks nice when done. I'll be doing my cove openings this Spring. So far all I know is that the front wheels have to come off and the plastic inner fender piece in the area also has to be removed. Don't remember it sounding too difficult to do. My ')$ CE came with the screens from the factory for the fog light area. They are held on with double sided tape as well.
Best wishes.

I found that after a few years the double sided tape started to dry out and the screens became loose, both on the side coves and rear fascia.
I went and bought a tube of PL Premium construction adhesive and applied a bead to the screens and now they will not budge.
