I drilled a set of two 1/16" holes, in the black area in the corners, about 1/4 back from where the lip of the black plastic starts, behind the painted area. The to holes are about 1/8" apart from each other, so that way I could run a wire "up" one hole, over a peice of the grill, and "down" the hole right next to it, and then I twist closed the wire behind the bumper. Works perfectly, holds it securely, and you can't even see the holes unless you get your face about 3 inches from the grill.
