Forget that, I'm not drilling into my bumper. Any kind of adhesive I could use, like kind that dealerships use to stick their logos on the back of the car (so it can come off clean without damaging the paint)?

Depends on the mount I suppose. I wanted to do that as well, but the way the side mount is built (at least the one from mitsubishiparts.net) there is not enough surface area to place any sort of the adhesive tape on. I suppose you could try it with the liquid emblem adhesive, but I'm guessing that would end up causing you more problems in the end!

You could try some industrial grade adhesives. I've heard (forget where, of course) of guys that use some industrial grade double-sided tape that was pretty strong. You just have to make sure it bonds well.

Bought it at Burdick Mitsu. I live in North Syracuse. I am in no way bolting anything to the front of my car, unless it it a bigger intercooler. What is this about Empire Gold?

Yeah that is horrible. Will not go well with most colors, and will make the car look like a taxi cab. =)

Did you look in the section where all the screws and bolts are? Should be in one of those bins / drawers. =)

We have to have front plates here in Kali too. Totally ruins the look of a car. I've seen some cars in Europe with the front plate as some kind of vinyl sticker. (Anyone know what I'm talking about?) It still looks horrible but slightly less so and you wouldn't have to drill any holes it's also aerodynamically better.

No picture unfortunately. If you tell one of the store workers that you are looking for plastic hole plugs they should be able to point you in the right direction though, and any big hardware store should have them (we have Lowes and Home Depot here).

I'll try to remember to take a picture of one of them when I get home from work today though. =)
