Yup! I just don't trust myself to screw into the bumper and not fudge up something else.

since yours is FRP, you can probably even just get one of these reamers to drill the hole, and screw driver and even PLIERS to hold the nut in place

while screwing down using washers.

I need one of those! Ken, what should I use to drill the holes? I am assuming a regular drill bit will probably crack the FRP.

it's really not that hard to do. just slap the pieces on with mounting tape first, then drill 2-3 holes per piece on your set, and screw in.
