That's how mine is mounted: I used existing holes for the air dam, pre-bent thick plate of steel to bolt the cooler down. It is solid with no vibrations. Before I used a mickey-mouse'd through the condenser zip tie-downs.

I just want to get this straight before I start to mount mine, and this is a good thread to bring back up to the top since I see the dope style questions from time to time.
I have a B&M 24k cooler, so I just need to bend the side with the inlet and outlet down so it is flush with the black plastic air dam, drill holes for the inlet and outlet to stick out through the other side, and bolt it down. Then it looks like you guys cut away some plastic from that access hole and used one of the brackets that came with the cooler to mount the one of the corners to.
In chrs1313's case it looks like the top right corner isn't bolted to anything. The part that connects to the front bumper just seemed really flimsy when I was underneath my car last night. But I'm assuming it must be strong enough when bolted down to support the cooler. Thats the only thing my dad and I were worried about when looking things over last night, was the stability of the corner that connected to the front bumper.
