I didn't use any grip glue. The left switch housing clamp locks the grip in place. Do take care to not get any wires pinched between switch housings and handle bars! Other than that, it is a simple straight-forward job. Have a couple extra throttle cable ferrules on hand and a couple extra snap rings for attaching the levers. They are cheap, and if you have them on hand that will guarantee you don't loose the ones you have. If you have no spares, you can bet you will drop and loose them.
