Hey i recently just bought and fixed a tom's lip and I was wondering how would I be able to bolt up where the lip sits inside the wheel well to my fender its missing a hole. Also does anyone how i would be able to bolt up a part of it that is missing one of the mounting brackets? there's little mounting brackets on the lip but one of them I guess ripped off, where can i find a replacement and a better question do i need this?

I made new brackets by going to home depot and buying the 6inch long by 1inch wide aluminum plates. They are pretty thin and easily bent to shape. They were like 89c each and I drilled holes in them for mounting both to the body and the splitters.
