Should I glue it: Loose lower front bumper trim

Hi all,

Yesterday, I discovered my black rubber trim went missing. As result, I installed the chrome trim I bought awhile ago.

The only issue is the chrome trim doesn't fit too snugly especially on the Passenger side.

Is there any way to make it fit better? Should I glue it? If yes, what kind of glue should I use?

I had the same issue happen to mine but my grill is black. For a quick fix, I used black zip ties around the grill and bumper pieces circled in red on the attached pic. You can't even notice it since its under the bumper. Maybe you can try a very thin clear zip tie to make it less noticeable on your chrome trim.

Thanks ExoticCarDriver. I've decided to order the OEM black grille for $200 . I realized the Chrome lower grill doesn't look that nice because it takes focus away from the main grille.

I will try with the black grille and see if it fits better. I will also try it tie it up in case it falls off again. Hah I don't want to lose another $200.
