Default Rear diffuser

I bought an Ikon motorsports rear diffuser a while back but have been way to busy to get to it. This past weekend I tried to mock up the fit and was surprised at how poorly the sides fit. I don't think there is any way that double-sided tape will hold it. I'm not keen on drilling holes in the bumper so is there a better way to fit it or a better diffuser that fits better?

Thanks,
Jeffrey

That IKON rear diffuser is bulky. I got a universal diffuser from Ebay, cut off the fins and shaped them to fit under the car, used 3M double side tape.
