    Measure twice.. drill once!

    As it spans across it will find it's own center, but, you need to verify each side is the same distance to the frame etc. etc. OH, and place some painters tape under the mounting points so you can use a pencil and place marks for hole centers and to protect the paint while drilling the holes.

    I assume you have the stock style fender braces that you can bolt the light bar to (although I cant see a brace bolt head on the fender). I would never just bolt the light bar directly to a fender, especially a fiberglass one.

    For sure put fender braces on it, or else the headlights and bar will just tear off anything over 10 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
