Ok, I took the painter's tape off today, and the center seems to be sticking well. I can see only 2 very small areas in the center where the tape is starting to pull off the bumper, but a little press with my hand and it sticks back on. I did 90mph on the autobahn and it lived, although I dont feel it could take 90+ too many more times though.
However, once again this install did NOT go perfectly. The center (the old problem area) seems to be resolved, however now the problem area is the driver's side. The area of the lip that meets up with the wheel well isnt sitting flush at all. There is a good 1/2 inch gap, I even had to add 3M tape to the front leading edge to get that to stick at all. This gap won't be an issue with the lip falling off, but its isnt exactly pleasing to the eye.
I'm going to talk to Andy directly, show him some pics and see what he says. I'm not exactly thrilled with the way this lip is fitting this time (main difference now is the use of 3M tape instead of the German stuff here), but the fit is a little better. Still not perfect.
