Putting foglights on aftermarket bodykit

I have my foglights still attached to that bar that goes behind the stock front bumper and the guy that put on my bodykit had to take that piece off to make the new front bumper fit. how would i put the foglights on my new bodykit since i cant put that bar back inside? the new front bumper is on permenantly btw. here are some pics:

I'm assuming the thing the foglights are attached to currently is the stock rebar so if your after market bumper is on permanently now I guess the lights have nothing to mount to. You could fabricate mounting points on the frame behind the new bumper but its going to be a pain since you can't move the bumper. If all else fails you could sell me your rebar and foglights and call it a day? Hope this helps.

I did that with my FD just because I wanted foglights, because I like them, but eventually the weight of the lights will bend and cause your bumper to warp, not to mention when you hit a bump they will shake like crazy. Up to you though. Then again it depends on what your bumper is made out of and how sturdy it is at the point of mounting.
