Default keeping bumper up with out bumber support?

...for those of you who run with out a front bumper support...since the bumper actually mounts on front of the bumper support...how do you guys keep it sturdy on the car with out the heavy metal support...i can only use the 2 screws on each side in the fender well and the two bolts near the tow hooks underneath...i have one zip tie near the driver corner attatched to a hole near the headlight but i cant get a zip tie on the other side since i dont have a headlight there...im not creative enought to make a bracket of some sort
