Question Got the new Strafe bumper but question on the air ducts

It's the Nismo fiberglass front bumper from Strafe I just recently purchased (click here for more info), and it's currently getting painted by my paint guy. I also got the air ducts but I cannot figure out how to install them on the bumper as there doesn't seem to be any clips or tabs for the ducts to connect with the bumper.

Any help here?

Need to build up some double sided tape then use some automotive goop to glue it to the bumper. That is how TNT installed Chris' (g35papa).

Blah blah blah. Lots of advice from people who DON'T have the ducts....

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?

^LOL, I copied and pasted text from an earlier question I asked Chris about installing the ducts. So actually my advice was from someone who has the ducts.

Good choice on the bumper op. 3m tape does wonders. nsfp, the goop your talking about is probly seam sealer. Considering this is what i do, just hit me up if any of yall ever have questions.

Mark the KuRookie looks better on your ride IMO. You should take it to AE and have Esteban adjust the fitment, I've never seen a KuRookie fit like that.
