Re: Front bumper question

they can be bent quite a bit and still straightened out. Just if it looks like this don't try it.


If you don't straighten it, sell your cover and buy a fiberglass piece... not much more than a new support and a lot lighter :2cents:

scrap it but cut off the brackets and bond them to your fiberglass cover

I got the one piece bonded f-glass cover. Didn't need to salvage the brackets (there wasn't enough left anyway :lol: )

yes it is. The fog bracket is my creation because I used 2nd gen fog lamps which had different mounts. The zip ties were a matter of preference. I didn't really like the mounting tab angles on that particular support, so I used the zipties instead. They hold the lights nice, tight and flush :tup: . probably will replace them with aluminum straps eventually
