All in all its pretty damn solid, but I'm still going to be cautious with curbs and large speed bumps.
I'm assuming you drilled little pilot holes in the 7 tabs on either side, then used those as a guide to drill into the underside of the bumper cover, ultimately securing them with the #10 bolts? Is that enough to keep the center section nice and secure, or did you 3M tape the two center mounts?

Any other tips/pointers/suggestions you can offer on the install? I really think I'm going to pick one of these up, and leaving it black will perfectly match my black rear diffusers.
