Guess you'll be the 2nd person in FL rocking a set of ducts

Mine are held in with only 3M mounting tape.

They'll stick kinda around the front edge of the hole in the bumper, I plan on going back later and taking the bumper off and adding some epoxy in the gap from behind just to make sure they never move, but I've driven a few thousand miles with both rough surfaces and high speeds (not at the same time LOL) and they've stayed put just fine.

The one issue is that there's a very small gap along the top edge, but my body guy said he had the perfect thing to fill that with. (Some kind of black trim stuff almost like caulk

I'll get the name of it once I have it done)

BTW, you're getting the lower sills painted at the same time, right?

You might be able to align it so the gap is at the bottom and not the top...less noticeable. Mines not perfect either but it doesn't bother me enough to try and redo it now. The way you did it is probably best. This way you can be sure it's secure and won't shift before you make it more permanent with goop.
