When I bought the cuda it didn't have the front pumper mounted. I knew I wanted the bumper on eventually and built aluminum brackets where the front plate goes to mount the "gasser" tank. Didn't know whether I'd like it or not......but I think it goes with the look of the car. I had to drill two holes in the top part of the bumper to mount turn-buckles for the straps, but other than that I used the existing liscense plate holes. thanks.........
