Mounting fogs in a L-Sportline front bumper
Hello,
My car is at the body shop getting my L-Sportline kit mounted. One thing is that the two factory screws and bracket that hold on the fog lights is not mountable on the outside of the bumper?
My guy is looking at fabing a bracket to mount on the inside, but i want to see what the community did.
Those who have had or have this kit... What did you do to mount the fog lights?

I don't remember how the rear installation went but that sounds right. I can see the metal reinforcement through the slot in the middle of the bumper. It's been 13 years since the install! For the fogs I'm not sure what metal brackets you mean. If your talking about the ones that the screws go into I did not use them. I screwed directly through the plastic tabs on the fogs directly into the bumper.

How has it stood the test of time for you?

I like that's it's not fiberglass but there were some flaws. The rear bumper sides just aren't as straight as OE. It's not that bad but if you reall look you can tell. But overall I'm happy. I had someone hit the back and the bumper absorbed it well. I'm sure the whole kit would have fallen off by now if It was fiberglass.

That is good news lexo98.
Yes.. my guy at the shop also has to massage the rear bumper, specifically around the rear tail lights and where it wraps there.
He also said the kit is a lot thicker abs than the factory bumpers.. which is a good and a bad thing..
Sorry for the blur.. I was excited!

Correct, need to make holes in front bumper for fogs. My rear bumper still fits with the white energy foam. I got the car back and everything fit well but the dumb white foam was showing through the mesh slot in the rear bumper. So, I masked it off and re-sprayed the mesh with gloss black spray paint making sure the white foam got completely covered with the black. It turned out perfect and stayed nice. Had the kit on now for almost 5 yrs.
