Front bumper on 2nd gen truck (2001) approx

[Doc Dave]

THe plastic fascia on the bottom that also wraps around the sides my front bumper has come loose at each end from the metal part of the bumper.
Does anyone know of an easy way to reattach or fix this? I have thought of double sided tape but don't want it to look cheezy.

Swing by a body shop sometime, they'll have fasteners of some sort that will work.

I will do that, thanks.
The main problem is that the plastic fascia has molded in projections or "studs" that go through holes in the metal bumper to hold it fast. These plastic studs break off with time.
All this plastic on vehicles today is not like our old flat fendered PW's!

3M weather stripping adhesive?

You could tie wire to the rectangular projections and attach a rod to the inside to hold it through the bumper. Also those plastic pieces are worth about $40 so it might be easier to change.
