Installing a Front Lip

I got this universal lip with instructions to install: On Ebay.
These were the instructions:
1. Clean the area thoroughly with alcohol or brake cleaner.
2. Use adhesive promoter on the rubber lip and let dry for a few minutes.
3. Use 3M Adhesive Outdoor High Strength Red Tape and stick it on the front lip.
4. Stick the lip to the front bumper.
5. It recommended to use screws as additional support.

Well, I did all that and it did not work. The adhesive promoter did not work like it was supposed to and the Red Tape did not stick to the rubber lip. It started to fall off minutes later.

Drilling holes in the bumper and lip are the only way to go with this.

Cost Spent for materials:
$35 for Lip
$6 for Adhesive Promoter
$4 for 3M Red Tape
$5 for screws and bolts.

Here is how it looks:
