front splitter support

i just got and installed my Stillen front splitter on my v6. The instal went good considering i did it by my self without removing the bumber. I did get bigger self tapping screws instead of using the tiny ones they supply. but i was wondering what others have done to reinforce/support there splitters? im prolly just being paranoid but im nervous about it coming off when im driving lol.

I used 1" long and larger diameter screws, one per mount. The center one I used one form the kit also as it needed the gap in front to close.You shouldn't have any problems, oh yeah, I replaced the tape with 3m heavy duty from a parts store as it sticks better from what others experienced.

thats a good idea to add an extra screw in the center, i think i might do that. I did replace some of the tape with heavy duty 3m. i didnt have enough to do it all. debating a way to secure the sides more.
