Your going to have to cut the fiberglass where the side marker lights go on the K2 in order for the stock metal brackets to fit. I also had to cut and reshape the metal brackets to fit on the K2 bumper. I drilled holes in the K2 and pop riveted it to the bumper.

I wouldn't attempt it if you have never done anything like this before, but I didn't think it was that hard. It's gonna take some trial and error to get them to fit right, but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. I can also get some pictures of how I did it if you want.

I can't wait for painted pics! Your gonna get yours painted before mine, but I still had mine first

How did yours line up? Mine was off around the passenger side headlight where it meets the corner of the fender.

You shouldn't be thanking me, you should be thanking strafe for an awesome bumper for the sedan!

the only way you see the core support is if you stand right over it looking straight down so i'd say 90% of the time you dont see it at all. Whenever i get time im taking the bumper off to pain the core support black so it less noticeable and re-painting my mesh.
