Providing you don't have a CAI or OEM fogs, I found most people using the stock "fog grill" to mount it with two L brackets... the crappy part about it is, with high wind, you have to make some sorta triangle to keep the L brackets from bending.

I plan on doing a DIY fairly soon for this, since I never got around to it, i'm plateless haha :P
