When i had one on my Del Sol i mounted it to the bumper, not the bumper cover, the metal bumper. Drilled the 4 holes and mounted it.

Yep actually you have to drill three holes.. to 1/2in in the bottom and one big one on top to get a socket down in it to tighten the bolts... Its reallly a pain for a tow hook.
