It was a pain to drill out the broken fasteners but I eventually used an upsized 5/32 bit (vs 9/64) and it made the tapping process a little easier, still plenty of thread engagement.
I chose not to reinstall the braided cable thingies (both sides/cables were damaged anyway) and instead just added a couple more holes and screws to secure the main plate to the bumper.
Overall I would recommend this product and purchase again. Well made, good fit and finish and good packaging when shipped. I did call them during the install for my fastener problem and the person that answered was very professional, friendly and helpful. So A+ on customer service.

Had the exact same problem and used same solution. First one that sheared was annoying, second was super annoying and then just re-drilled everything out larger.
