All i did was go to home depot purchased 2 "L" brackets, small nuts and bolts and 2 self tapping screws. Having those parts in your hand should be easy to do honestly. Let me know if you have any questions.

Someone else maybe can chime in on this?

That's about as inexpensive as it can be. The "L" brackets may rust, but since they are behind the license plate, no one will see it. The cheap eBay relocator that I bought is made of thin sheet aluminum (no rust), and it was worth my $11.00 to not have to cut and bend the sheet metal.

I also bent the brackets so they are tilted.
