Default Winch mounting ideas for front bumper

Hello Wraith enthusiasts, I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas innovative or otherwise for mounting a winch to the front stock wraith bumper. Any suggestions will much appreciated.

Thanks

Right now I have a RC4WD Bulldog winch just zip tied to to the top of the stock bumper. Not very scale looking but it does the job. From what I have researched it seems like you would need to get an aftermarket bumper if you want anything better, but I will be interested to see what other people say.

I made front bumper supports from 1/4" Delrin that exit under the smaller front tube loop. Then I use another piece of 1/4" Delrin in-between the bumper support for the winch mounting plate. I put supports from the lower frame rail/tube to the bumper supports. The stock bumper supports force you to have winch up high, so I opted to build. You can do this with a jigsaw and a Dremel.
