Best way to install add on lip for front bumper????

Hey Fellas, My Auto body instructor suggest I glue it on. I thought I should use rivets to put it on. Anyone know the best way? I know there was a guy on this forum months back that put one on his red Spyder.. I think his user name was spyder (or somethang like that). But I haven't been able to find his name to ask him dirrectly. Thanks

I'd just use some self tapping screws.

IIRC = if I remember correctly. I would use rivets too, but I am no body man.

IIRC sphyder used screws... small, black headed screws... i think i remeber seeing them in his back seat (along with the lip) when he took it off for his (customer) to test drive the spyder...
