This has been done several times on here and I believe that everyone has used screws, but you could try using 3m tape, just make sure that you have the right stuff, mine was supposed to support ten pounds per inch of tape, but it quickly peeled off in the heat.

According to Car MPG Efficiency Modifications Main - EcoModder, three members made belly pans and saw improvements of 3.48%, on average. Three users also made front air dams with an average 4.74% improvement. Also, the air dam took 40% as long to install and cost 1/3 as much.
