Where are you getting the wrap for the bar between the fog lights, assuming you’re not having it professionally done?

That's a carbon piece. I had mine wrapped a few months back then I slapped the carbon piece on. Looks much better with the carbon grilles.

I did now. I was on my phone earlier.

The only thing I don’t like is that there’s no hole for the tow hook access. I run my front plate with a mount there.

Toggle bolts? It looks clean man. Thankfully I don't need a front plate here. If they are in fact toggle bolts make sure they are stainless steel! I used a bunch in my boat once and they were impossible to remove.

Not toggle bolts , but that would have been an easier go. I cut some 2.5" x 1" x 3mm Delrin plates on the bandsaw from a chunk I had in the shop. Then I drill and pressed in a nut insert. I used the plates from behind and threaded in the #10 machine screws. Not stainless, but can't see the need to remove the bracket any time. The actual plate mounting screws are black anodized, so should come out when needed. I also made some Delrin wedge spacers to angle the plate correctly to sit vertical, as the lower grill slopes inward. We have front plate mandate, and I got pinched for no front plate too many times to bother running without it anymore. Don't need the hassle from popo.
