Re: (four-eyez)
Yeah.. go to sears, buy some rivets and a riveter.. This will require you to pre-drill holes for the rivets to be popped in to...
Drill one hole on each side, and some under the lip and in to the bumper if possible with your particular lip.. Then just stick the pointed end of the rivet in to the hole, grip the riveter until it pops hard, and let go.. POOF, your rivet is in and the lip is tightly held to the bumper.. the problem with rivets is the removal.. screws and bolts can be removed easier...
Also, if you are installing the lip on a painted lip, there is a chance that the jolt from the riveter, or the tightness of the rivet might cause the paint to chip..
But just for the record, rivets and riveters are cheap.. great tool for when you need to fix random things.. I used it for a VIN swap for my dash when I swapped dashes. I then used it to hold the door prop for my screen door when the screw ripped out from high winds.

Re: (four-eyez)
Was it painted white or was that a bare unpainted lip? I don't believe spoon sells lips made of a white material. who knows though.
I believe the lip should be black urethane or CF
