Default Installed OEM Front Lip Am I Safe?

Guys, I installed an OEM front lip today (ap2) and it is held on by the 2 screws on each side of the bumper (where the lip wraps around the bumper)...

Besides that the only other thing keeping it in place is the adhesive tape. I didn't do the bottom part because it began to rain a bit and I don't have a garage


Am I good to drive around or are the screws under the lip absolutely necessary? I remember installing an OEM front lip on my G35 and I did the same thing with no problems...

install every bolt. might be a pain in the ass but imagine what happens to the lip when it's being hit by the wind when ur traveling 70 mph. i dono if it were me i would take the time out and do every bolt.

Yeah install them all cause it you scrape ever that lip might pull under your car and damage your bumper.

That and if you hit something large enough I wouldn't want the lip to come off either. Its possible the whole damn bumper may come off but there is a reason they gave you all those bolts. Use them.
