I got the shop to install mine, they just ziptied it and it hasn't caused me a problem at all and it's been a week. A week of thick snow, chunky snow, slush and everything nature can throw in my way and nothing has happened yet. I hope it stays that way

drill some holes in the bottom of your bumper for the zipties dont think it possible... if you're around the valley for the rest of this weekend - drop by my place - I'd like to check it out and see what could be done to get you back in action again - I've got plenty of zip ties, underbody fasteners and a nice floor jack just waiting to get back under a celica again
