I don't have the vortex one but didn't it come with a template or any kind of mounting hardware for reference? You'll most likely have to drill holes and use bolts and nuts if it didn't come with anything but I'm sure you know all this anyway. If you don't want to drill into your bumper cover maybe some really good double sided molding tape would work also.

Here's what my ACI version looks like that I have. The bracket sitting on top of the spoiler doesn't line up with the holes that were drilled into mine before I got it, but they are the correct brackets from ACI that I got from them. It's just laying there for reference when I took the picture. Good luck with your install. It's gonna look killer.



You can see where the holes have been drilled.

That’s crazy. I would have thought they’d include at least a template or something. No hardware also kinda sucks too. I used a #10 bolt about an inch or a little longer with locking nuts and wide area washers inside the bumper cover. The bolt head side I used a regular washer because the larger ones wouldn’t fit inside the little space they give for the bolt to go thru.
