Has anyone installed the IPD skid plate? Is the attachment trustworthy? V70-XC70

I've been interested in installing an IPD-made skid plate on my daughter's new car. However, when I read the instructions (at their website, in .pdf), it seems like the plate is largely held up and supported by merely a rubber plug that, when a bolt is tightened, swells to hold itself in a hole by friction. It's rather disconcerting that there's no ample attachment with a trustworthy bolt.

Have any of you installed this protective plate -- and if so, any critique of this attachment method?

Thanks.
