Question 3d front bumper lip spoiler install

Just got my 3d spoiler painted and am prepping for install.

For additional insurance beyond the double sided tape I was thinking of adding some screws on the bottom of the lip. Any others who went this route?

Also, there are two holes drilled on each side where the lip wraps around the wheel well. It seems like the only place for screws to go would be into the fender liners but I have not done a true mock-up yet. Is that correct?

Correct regarding the screws on each end.
I didn't do additional screws under the lip.

Thanks. Did the screws come with the spoiler? I bought mine used and they were not included.

Not sure if you have the non m or the Msport but you can see here on my non m 3d carbon fiber spoiler I did put a bolt on each end. I still have yet painted them black so they don't stand out so much. I also attached several bolts from underneath as well. So far it's held up well
