Go to home depot or lowe's or where ever and buy a piece of 1/8"thick by 1" wide steel strap and make a new support piece that is longer than the plastic one on the factory bumper. Just drill your holes and use the metal piece in it's place. I had to do this and the stock one isn't long enough as Micah stated and just the screws alone allowed the bumper to sorta sag at the very tip of the wheel well and look gappy. The steel piece is rigid enough to hold up the bumper nice and tight against the front quarter panel.
Originally posted by Micah: are you talking about the rods that hold the bumper to the sub frame? if so they wont fit this bumper the rods are to short, you will need to make new ones or just leave it off. I dont know what everyone else has done, and I havent had a bumper long enough to know. Glad you both like it. Now I want to see some pics!!!!!
