well, best way I know (and it's a biatch) is to take the other rear off, test fit the new one on, then pull it back about 1/2 inch, now you can see the holes where you need to screw into, take a sharpie and mark the spots, now take it back off, and draw where you marked on the top of the bumper. have someone hold all around where you're drilling so you dont slip and slide everywhere, just be patient but apply some pressure. And remember, if you screw up (as I did) all you have is a 4 hour wait if you lay some new glass or bondo before you can redrill, so it's not the end of the world, reason I screwed up iz cuz it was hot and I wanted to get done and I had glass in my eyes..etc... Brynden helped me do mine the first time, kinda showed me this process. Also, before you buy fiberglass, go to a marine shop, buy some and play with it. Learn how to mold/lay it etc so you can fix it if it chips, alot easier than fixing a ripped urethane bumper eh? hope this helps
