    if you look at pic 2 and 4, you can see there is a bar that goes in front of where the lights are mounted. the plate mounts to the bottom of that pipe, so its not just chillin out there, its bent around the front pipe.

    Cut the plate off before the bar, then weld it to the bar, then smooth it with a grinder then paint

    looks good man and I don't know if it's been asked yet but are you going to paint the skid plate? needs to be powder coated and it may just be me but I think your front bumper would have looked much better painted white
