I have one of these: http://appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/574 and I had it mounted to my grille with a couple of bolts and nuts. Not surprisingly, the brittle plastic broke where the bolts were installed. I can reinforce the plastic with some aluminum strap, re-drill the holes, and mount it the same way, or I could epoxy the scoop to the grille and make it a permanent part of the grille.

I'm looking for opinions on the pros and cons of gluing it in versus bolting it the way it was with some reinforcement in the plastic.
