Default 99 Sport Bull Bar

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I am with leatherseats.com and I have a customer that has a 99 Ram Sport. He wants a Westin Bull-bar, but our applications say it won't work. I was looking at a few picture of Sport vs. regular Ram bumpers, and there is definetly a difference in the lower valence. Is there a way to make the bull-bar work with the Sport bumper, or are there any other similar products that are out there for the Sport? Thanks for all your help!

No application guide will state that they work with a Sport Model.
The frame and mounting points are identical to the regular(non-sport) if the customer is willing to modify(hack at) the fascia.

Do you happen to know what spots on the bumper he will have to "modify" to get it to work?

Thanks,
Bill C.

If I remember right the openings between the fog lights(or where the for lights would be if they don't have 'em) is not as tall on the sport models. He/She would have to cut away some of the plastic of the fascia and possibly the fascia support on the lower half of the openings on either side. These holes are the oval holes in the middle of the front bumper cover on either side of the license plate bracket, the small 2-3" holes are the fog light/fog light delete holes.
You'd really have to have the bull bar on hand to tell exactly what modifications will need to be made since all are a little different.
