Default Bumper Tab Relocation

Hey Guys, does anyone have pictures of specific details on how and where they relocated that front bumper tab for people rubbing on it? I know people cut off the tab completely. But where did you guys relocated a new spot to drill a hole and mount the bumper up at. When im looking at my bumper i dont see a new spots on the side to relocate too. Pictures would be great. Thanks guys.

There was another thread before where I saw someone had a picture of the bumper piece and shows the part they cut off and where they drilled the new hole and used a ziptie I believe. Pretty sure I have it bookmarked at work if no one chimes in by tomorrow.

i haven't took pictures, but if you guys actually try to attempt this, you will know exactly what to do.

1. pry out fender liner in the area of the tab
2. hammer the tab up (it's obvious which one when you see it)
3. apply ziptie through original bumper tab and the tab that was hammered up

Ok, but once you do that you always have to use another ziptie everytime you remove the bumper?! haha that's such a hassle!
