you can either cut the hoops off or order the brackets that come with when the modular bumper is ordered from the factory. Those part nos. are MB3Z6G079A and MB3Z6G079B. Personally, I went with the latter. They're easy to swap out and I kept the originals in case there's ever a reason I need to swap back to the plastic bumper.

Nice .... hey did you guesstimate where to drill for the sensors or did you have some kind of a template for it?Got it done. Couple notes-
If you unplug the sensor harness you will get an error every time you put the car in drive. Work around, leave it plugged in, snake it up engine bay, then disable front sensors in the infotainment. I did this for a week or so before I drilled the bumper.
Disclaimer- I work in IT, not with cars, this is just my experience and I’m sure there are better ways.
This bit worked perfectly, I tried three and this was effortless. https://a.co/d/8AdrgAw
These are the sensor holders I bought.

I drilled 4 holes looking up where they are on the factory bumper. Then masked off the holes and sprayed paint from the inside of the bumper to hopefully avoid future rust. 1 hole was barely larger and the bracket moved around, used a tiny bit of glue and we were set.
Honestly took about 45 minutes outside of paint and glue drying. Now I’ve got a modular bumper with sensors for less than $400.
If anyone has questions feel free to reach out.
I don’t recall this piece. Is it a license plate mount?Does anyone know what this part is?
