Lol, no worries. I have no idea how much work you had to do on the impul and seeing how you tried to do the greddy I can see you looking for the little stuff.

For 2 clips its on there pretty good.

Yeah it is.

The mold around the lights looks great. Mine was way, way off. I have a good 40 hours in my bumper getting it to fit as well as it does now which is far from perfect.

This time around I want something that fits 100% right like they can make. I don't want to mess with it.

Here's the slight cut needed on the crash bar to fit the bumper.

passenger side


driver side


both


Undertray will still bolt to the bumper once the holes are in place.


passenger side fender


driver side fender, we had to elongate the mounting hole to get it out a little further. Not as perfect as the passenger side but this is the only thing I see as not being a full blown perfect fit.


That's all I got. As with any kit slight adjustment may be needed to be perfect. One of the few aftermarket kits for the Gs I've seen with a better fit and finish is a Kenstyle kit.

Those brackets came off the sides mounts of the original bumper. Where it would bolt to the wheel well liners. You will have to dremel the tray a little bit to get the clips to line up with the holes. Also drill the bumper, unless Viet is now doing that. Once complete the underside will look like this

We're going to play with the holes to make it like yours.

If you put the clip onto the undertray like yours, and drill a hole using the clip as the guide it should make making the hole into the bottom of the bumper easier. Much better than the screws, which I insist should not be used.

Yep, thats why I used the bracket/bolt, they are way stronger. That area now traps a lot of air that it didn't have to deal with before, so the original clips aren't strong enough. I'm thinking of cutting some bigger holes into the tray to let some of that air escape downward. What do you think?

(If I had an intercooler it wouldn't even be an issue )

Quick question. Do our sidemarkers attach to the fenders or the bumpers? Do the sidemarkers sit flush with the fender and bumper?

sidemarker bracket attaches to the bumper. One of the side mounting screws is thru the bumper the other is thru the sidemarker bracket. Does that make sense?

I have aftermarket clears/black and they are flush. The stock ones I think were a little bit off in the front (they sunk in a little bit)

Picture of the stock yellow.


Don't have any close pics of the clear.

Here is the best that I have. I'll take closer pics when I get the car back.
