Me too. My front molding (brand new two years ago) is starting to peel like a snake. Gotta swap it out asap before the Texas Motor Speedway event for charity. Gotta represent, ya' know.

Nice work! 

Is it just held by adhesive?

It's a good solution but not up to OEM standards. I've heard reports that it fades and peels within a year, at least with the chrome variety.
I'd suspect the black would hold up longer, and even more if it's painted.
Just FYI.

Good to know. But Fordguy, I have a silly question. Your bumper isn't painted yet, why did you already attach it? Shouldn't you paint the bumper first, then put the tape on?

My guess is that it's getting painted too..... Be interesting to see how it holds up painted. I plan on doing mine that way too.

I didnt put it on yet because it wasnt a good surface to stick to.  Now its primered, so I will probably put it on before topcoat.  I just layed it in there to take pics. If you look close in the second picture, you can see the rest off the roll hanging off the ladder.
