Given that the material obviously expands due to the heat, if the movement is restricted by the zip ties but the material is still heating up, doesn't that expansion have to go somewhere by the laws of physics?
Just curious if you have noticed a change elsewhere once you zip tied the bumper from moving outward?

The plastic expands across the entire length of the bumper. The zip ties do not alter physics, they just constrain movement. So once the ends are constrained by the zipties then all the movement will happen the only other place it can: in the middle.
You probably won't be able to notice that when hot the bumper is actually sticking out the back ~1/4" more than when cold.
