I have done this mod, and took some really bad pictures...I have done this on about 5 other local CL members vehicles as well and had great success. There is a lot of extra metal you can trim around the big bumper bracket, and then triming the old bumper tab back and using a small lip to drill a small sheet metal screw to hold the corner in. Works like a charm...

I can drive with the front aired completely down without rubbing...I just can't turn

Lol I trimmed all that and did those tabs. But then again I have a black car with black tabs so it ain't noticeable until you are right up on my car
