I just got one from the dealer, $1400 parts/labor. The only thing I can think you might have forgot is 2 large washers that go between the mounting of the SMA on the H2 and the one open sided u shape hindge welded to the guard. They are very hard to get in. Have to beat in with hammer and screwdriver. Then getting the swing pin in is another problem. My guard fits very tight. At $100 an hour it better fit tight. I have to put a lot of wait on it to push it down. I had to take my winch off, because the guard hit it. My winch is the same Warn winch SMA uses in there ads XD9000i, so I didn't think there would be a problem. Then I couldn't open the hood to check the oil. I drove over to SMA and talk to Steve, an eng. for SMA. They build the guard 15 miles from my house in Tempe, AZ. He told me if I need to check the oil to take the winch off. I was standing there not believing what I was hearing. I've had a stroke 8 months ago and have no use of my left arm and I just started walking. I mounted the winch where the spare tire went inside cargo area using the spare tire mounting bolts in the floor. I had a 4 inch wide 3/8 inch steel plate about 14 inchs long and a reciever hitch welded to it. I got the spare tire mounting before the brush guard. Sorry don't know how to attach pictures yet. I re-read your post and no no no it does not mount to the plastic fascia! You have to get a special mounting kit for it. I had to wait an exture hour while dealer drove over to SMA in Tempe from Scottsdale to get some of the pieces they didn't have. Sorry don't have there number. Have to get better pict. don't have flash on camera.
