Hold your lip.. watching some youtube videos on mounting, and I'm going to take home some 14 and 16 ga. steel strips about 1" wide to work with this weekend. No reason in the world a bracket couldn't be ran from the bottom of our bumper (taped or screwed - yet to be determined) and do a drill and rivet to the inner edge of the lip. Should make a solid mount across the open area of the spoiler. If it has to be an offset bracket I'll copy a cad image with the configuration.

And from what I've seen you do start with a rough grade and work to smoother on the sandpaper..thank God for electric sanders.. LOL.
