Yes it can be KG Works make a kit kgworks.co.jp but you could do it youself they usually use the right tow hook to mount it on or if you have a eunos on the braket for the driving lights

but i'll see how things go first.

am I sure? well, I installed it that way, so I'm fairly sure...

Trust me, it's not coming off in a hurry. when I first set it gently in place, then stood back to check the alignment, I decided it needed straightening. It nearly pulled the paint off. :shock: Now that it's been stuck on for longer than 30 seconds It'll be stuck much more securely...
