I would take it to a body shop. Most replica products fit horribly and require a bit of modification. I've seen guys use 3M double tape to mount them, others drill and mount and fill over the holes. It's all preference, but replica stuff is usually a cut and modify type of deal.

Thanks!

Michael

Being a body shop they should know what to do hopefully It's going to be either two sided tape/bonding material or drilling holes and filling it with bondo.
