Don't run one in the front of the wife's S197 and don't run one in the front of my truck either. Just can't bring myself to do mount a plate on them.

On a plastic bumper?:shrug: Have another.........:beer:

I also don't want to drill holes in my new bumper. I think someone makes a bracket of some sort?

A variation on the "Clamp on" setup I built for my car would probably work.
Doesn't cost much in materials (even cheaper if you use steel instead of aluminum) and is very easy to build.

You'd have to experiment with mounting points and depth from bumper.

Essentially, it just "pinches" the nose cone between 2 plates. One plate is a retainer, the other is actually the
arm that extends out and bends upward to mount the plate/frame to.

Your choice of mounting hardware, I chose wingnuts.

+1. I've been running without since I got it 3 years ago.

I can't find one that mounts from underneath and doesn't cover the lower HE/rad opening, and haven't put the time in to work on one that would mount off to the side.
