I had the holes in my decklid closed up when the paint & bodywork were
done on the Garage Queen, and I didn't want to poke any new holes.
Instead I fabricated a short L-shaped bracket that attached to the 2
bolts that hold the fuel crossover pipe in place. Works fine for me, I
don't mind the plate being a bit low, I do sometimes scrape the pavement
with my CAT plate frame (came with the car, I wonder how old it is?).
YMMV.

Again, I wanted a no-holes solution, and my aftermarket valence didn't
come with holes in it. So, I fabricated a long T-shaped bracket that
attached with a single bolt to the handcrank hole in the radiator
support and passed through the equivalent hole in the valence.
I picked up the crossmember from getting Maganfluxed last night. Before
getting any reinforcing done, I want to check the dimensions. The tech
hints describe measuring the distance between the shock towers (28 and a
fraction inches) but the drawing leaves room for interpretation due to
the lines on the drawing. Do I measure the exact distance to the
outermost ends of these rounded-end parts, or do I measure from some
imaginary points that the shock towers would have if there had
squared-off corners? I think I'll find mine's borderline, this will make
a big difference.
