When I had mine on my coupe I used a long bolt under the two sections where they curve in towards the middle. Did a good job of keeping it nice tight.

the JDM **** one that I had fit real tight and was able to stay up, however i also put double sided tape on the back to help it out.

As for the melting...i let it melt! Made the exhaust fit in there real nice.

are you referring to real or fake ctr lips? the real ctr lips have brackets molded onto the inside. when you take off your bumper, you'll notice small circles with a X through it. you drill out those holes and put a 10mm bolt through it...
