I had the same prob. Do a search and you can come up with some stuff. My solution was some epoxy (I think).

Sorry I can't be more specific! Its been a while.

i believe you have to custom fit it into the bumber, because its made for a special bumper? i may be wrong, if u can get it into the stock bumper without drillin or sandin or anythinggg than ill buy the aero grille!! hehe : )
