I have the mid-width armorlite with BW flats. I'm on vacation right now but I'll take a pic when I get back.

The LOD logo was already on there. Install was a cakewalk. The dring mounts were straightforward. After I had installed them, I saw that EVO made some that weree a bit beefier. They were straight bolt in. You just use their mounting hardware which are large allen hesd bolts.
Originally I used the stock fogs. Then I upgraded to PIAA led fogs. Again, straight bolt in, but I skipped the factory wiring and used the PIAA wiring and wired it to my SPOD.
I have the Warn ZEON 10k winch with synthetic rope. Its real close to the grille, so much so that you would need to make sure to spool the rope in evenly on the drum.
I also bought the lower skid. You have to drill a hole at each end of the lower crash bar. Putting the bolts in to that takes a bit of flexibility... afterwards, I drilled 2 holes in it, and mounted my front license to it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck with your build.

Some more photos...I have the skid now so the license plate could be relocated/cut but the fogs seem to work just fine as is. I used the LoD logo bracket mount holes for the plate mount. Factory fog bulbs replaced with Fortec LEDs as the OEM were worthless.
