Take the bumper off and do it the right way. Don't be a hack. Takes like an hour tops to do it the right way.

Do you have the steps to pull off the bumper? I just got the black grille and those canards and would like to swap them out.

I was able to swap out the front grill & side trims and can confirm that you should take off the bumper as previously stated by BlownLSX.

I had the car up on the jacks and took off the front wheels so I had access to the inside of the wheel bay. That will allow you to remove the inside plastic shroud which grants you access to two screws that hold up the bumpers (the two screws are right below the head light and above the orange reflective strip). Removing these screws was probably the most difficult since I wasn't able to completely remove the plastic shroud so I had very limited space for my hands and tools. Once you get those out of the way you can remove the rest of the screws that are underneath the bumper and a few at the top (which can be accessed by opening up the front hood). Once all screws are removed carefully pull on the bumper and make sure not to rip out any harnesses. From there you can unclip the inside layer and grant you access to the clips for the grill and the side trims. It's quite difficult to describe in words so free to let me know if you have questions...
