I see bumper destruction if you try to use any of that, and yes I have seen it before.

Improper aesthetics will only get a twisted opinion of your project...

Think what you want, I'm building a sweet front end to a classy machine. As in all my posts, it's an exact replica of the 2010 A Team van. Not an offroad tow rig. That should parlay any of the comments of function. It will look great, turn heads, and keeps me working on my van- and that is the key to this site.

I got the 2-1/4" steel plate cut out for the ends of the mounting posts. Getting them all welded up tomorrow, then I can drill the 3/4" holes for the bolt to afix the main tow hook bracket. Stainless hardware cost a pretty penny, but it will be worth it.
