I was aiming for something that didnt look ridiculous, and didnt look cheap.

I think this is something decent, and if painted to match the body, it would be less noticeable.

It holds the bumper very tight the way I have done this, and as far as I can tell the bumper fitment is very close to OEM. Ok, so basically you have to take the headlights and bumper off like you would normally have too. (should know how to do this)

The biggest PITA part for most people is the two side clips, which is what this mod eliminates mostly.

some cars are somewhat easy to get these off, and others (like mine) are a total nightmare to remove. Just deal with it this one last time

Once the bumper is removed, I then removed the black clips from the car to modify. (just pry it off without bending the bender)

Here’s a picture of what I’ve done to the passenger side:

Once removed from the fender, you can turn this piece around and use a torx bit to remove the white pegs that hold it to the fender.

I removed a single white clip so that i had a hole to use for the quik-latch stud.

I then completely cut off the top two black clips that are part of this black plastic piece and hold the bumper to the fender

(i did this very sloppily and would suggest a dremel)

This allows the bumper to still have the bottom clip and black piece for correct space-ment (thats a word now) and fitment from the fender, along with a-lot of support.

(i originally tried this without the black piece at all, and yes it does work, but the entire weight of the sides of the bumper are then resting on the single pin, if you want to go this route, I would recommend a second pin) I then reattached the black piece to the fender as it just clips in, reach my hand around and attach the bolt & stud sections from the kit.
