Today I pulled off my front bumper cover to get an idea of a few mods i wanted to do, and decided to just start doing some of them tonight.
I installed a DutchPartsCo front splitter. I will post pics once the bumper is reinstalled since it doesn't look as interesting with the bumper cover missing.
I also tackled a project i have been brewing for a few months. As many of you know/see I run a front europlate. I have decided to only run that plate for shows/meets only, and thought that using magnetic mounts could give me a very clean way to give me the flexibility to do this. Link to the magnets i used:

My endgame is to be able to have it stay on at least while the car is not moving, and i will consider it a miracle if i can get it to stay while driving.
To achieve this, I looked on the inside of my cover and noticed that there are some faint + marks that have one dead center to the bumper and the other 2 are equidistant from there.
I taped 3 of my magnets, one on each of the + marks, with painter's tape. I did the same to where those would mate up on the outside fo the bumper cover, securing those in place with painter's tape.
After confirming placements, I then used some JB Weld plastic epoxy to secure the magnets to the inside of the bumper, using the exterior magnets to aid in the placement while the epoxy set.
After that was done I placed magnets on the europlate frame to the appropriate spots, and the magnets i bought were strong enough to hold the whole assembly! But I opted to put 2 more in place with the double sided tape that came with the magnets.
This gives it more mounting points, but i do not think that it would stay while driving. I'll have to look into getting stronger magnets in the future. My current challenge is to find some thin felt or something to go on the magnets that make contact with the outer bumper cover, as i do not wish to have scratches there from repeated use.
