M7 Ultimate Lower Grill for Aero Bumper

Hi guys,

I installed the ultimate lower aero grill. I got frustrated with the 3 screws that came with the grill so I just ziptied the grill onto the bumper I'm feeling guilty now and want to put in on properly, but it is almost impossible to line up the holes properly!!! I always seem to drill in the wrong area which seems ok at the point when I was trying to align everything. Also I don't think 3 points is enough, the top left and right side of the grill still have too much movement.

Any suggestions?

If the zip ties don't bother you leave it.
I used zip ties for my areo mid grill and it has been fine. I check them every wash to make sure they are good but it has been two years with no problems.

Great, I'm just paranoid that it might for some or other reason give in and just fall out :D

well if you have a few of them in there... what are the chances of all of them giving out at the same time?
