I "wove" the panel to make the bumper and the panel more connected. The middle section of the lower bumper was sagging due to no support for a long time and this method really brought it back up and into shape. The aftermarket panel could be mounted either way, but it seems like it was designed to be on top of the bumper (It has two spots to attach in the front section that need to be mounted from below through the bumper), but after test fitting both panels in various positions, this installation worked best for me.

I am going to do the other ti next weekend, as the bumper needs a couple of fixes, so no time like the present.
