Default Styrene To Metal?

I've been working with some styrene on my build and I've made a air scoop. It dosnt need to be bulletproof but i need to find some way to attatch it to the frame. Does anybody know how to attach styrene to metal?

I have been working on the same thing.
I ended up using earth magnets that I counter sunk into the bottom of the styrene and epoxied in. I mounted a metal strip between the body posts to "catch" the magnets. It worked out pretty slick and held better than I was expecting.

The only problem with this is that to bolt it to the frame i would have to drill a hole through 3/16 stainless which isn't very easy.
