I used 1/8" diamond shaped aluminum grating sheet painted black
cut it 10"HX29"L held together by the two screws that
are in the back under the center bar on each end!
and I drilled three holes to the bottom of the front
bumper, using the the kind of screws that have the
plastic sleeve and also good size washers to hold it
in place, which were painted black.

P.S when you drill the holes you stick the sleeve in
the hole, then you put the screw along with the washer
and while you tighten it the sleeve seperates and holds
on to the bumper! I think you can also use steel sleeves!
I used the plastic ones cause those are the ones I had.
I hope that help's...........PONCHO.
