Default Nuts and Bolts

Okay, I know that nuts and bolts are the best way to get the chin spoiler on but how do you actually put them on? There is part of the bumper in the way to put the bolt on.

What doI do?

i used painters tape since its supposed to be designed not to tear off paint and used that to hold it up then i took a power screwdriver and used self tapping screws...went in fine, except the front was kind of a pain becaus it flexed

If the self tapping screws work their way out of the plastic bumper, you are going to wind up running over your spoiler[&:]

I drilled holes and put in either 2 or 4 bolts with locking nuts (I forget) and then used self tappers on the rest.
