seem like even with this ill only be able to mount it to the 2 lower holes,what about the front.my bumper right now is the all chrome with this cut out(above) and no fog lights if that helps.

Did you contact the vendor (manufacturer) of this grille? My lower grille was made by a member here on this forum (FoMoCo). He supplied brackets on his that mounted this lower grille to two lower screws (obvious when the grille was set into place).

I'd contact the vendor and ask. It's difficult for anyone here to provide a concrete answer unless they have the same grille. I would say however that if it's required that you have to replace any part of the lower grille to make this setup work, it should have been noted in their advertisement, which would have had me looking eslewhere.
