There is a channel underneath to fit the bolts and washers (no need to remove the bumper). First few times after install checking the oil I accidentally stepped on the lip a few times. It's rock solid with no warping when installed this way.

mine is also secured with nuts and bolts. didn't even bother using any of the screws stillen supplied. but the warping doesn't have anything to do with how well it's secured. im think its downforce as robones said or possibly heat.
