Driving light install... Without cutting up aero grill..

I just got my driving lights and I REALLY dont want to dremel my new Aero grill. Is there a way to mount the lights without sacrificing the grill?
-Thanks

check out VIP Custom Parts; they have one that bolts to the bumper support, not the bonnet.

They are on Ebay for $59. You mount them to the core supports and do have to cut a small portion of the body (bumper) to fit, amounts to a 1" lip cut on each side. They will hold pretty good size lights with no vibration.\ as the grille mounted ones.

I couldn't find VIP Custom Parts anywhere, and am not sure which $59 light mounts you're talking about. I would appreciate any help with this issue too.
