The one I have has a piece of aluminum angle, 2-1/2X2-1/2X3/16", 37" long. The angle is bolted to the top side of the bumper shocks. There are a couple of screws that go through the front of the bumper into the angle. The angle also has a couple of rubber pads fo vibration. The air dam also has screws that go into the fender lip.

Sorry, the Mode 4 is sold, along with the bracket. It's a simple piece of angle with a few holes drilled and a notch on one side. PM me with your e-mail and I can send a couple of pics with measurements.

I would email Mariah and explain your situation. See if you can buy a special hardware kit from them.

Good luck

trochoid- pming you now

xlr8- i thought about that but i assume theyll charge me an insane rate for it, but ill still try to do so. the bumper is a little damaged so ill have to try my hand at some fiberglass work to fix it. i dont care if its perfect. i got it due to the VERY low cost and if i have to shell out a crap load to mariah for a mounting kit then it defeats the purpose. if i were going to buy a front id just buy from ISC.

Yeah, I feel ya on the budget part. Mariah isn't exactly known for being cheap. Your best bet may be to fabricate your own.

I still have it. I'll get some pics sent today of it sitting on the bumper shocks along with some measurements. I don't know if this is how Mariah mounted them or not. It came off of a car in the boneyard that may have been used for SCCA many years ago.
