I use gorilla duct tape (black) to cover my hole. heh. pretty darn strong.
btw before i duct taped it up, I THINK water got into my fog light and blew out my HID bulb. not too sure though, but most likely.
passnu, hes not talking about the plastic liner. Its the metal bumper bracket and it cuts the tires bad (at least mine did).
My friend had a dremel tool and shaved it off.
Ur friend shave it off.. Do u mean the whole metal bumper bracket? Explain more detail... Also I never seen the cable wire and I dont see underneat my ride.. IS that wire for HID?
how to heat gun? cause whats rubbing also is the clips that hold the black fender linings....if i take the clip out...im afraid the fender lining will not be able to hold up..

no, shave it enough so that the bolt can still hold the bumper togther. like i would say 2-3mm left from the screw.
so after you shave that tab cant you heat the rest of the liner instead of cutting it out?? If you get a heat gun that stuff is pretty flexible in a matter of seconds!!! This way you have something to help keep water and other things out.

you can make metal flexible with heat gun? I think some people think that its a fender lining problem, but its not, its the metal bumper bracket that has the screw.

no i understannd that but if I am understanding the OP he is also rubbing on the plastic fender lining?? maybe I am wrong.
Man, I really want take the metal braket off but I dont want the bumper fit misalignment without bracket.. DOH!!! 215-40-18 and slam = tire barely touch the metal bracket but it dont rub when I drive straight and it rub when I make a major turn on uneven road.. I wouldnt worry about them and the tires are still good...
lol...thanks guys for the help so far...har good luck on the test btw...hahaha...
so yeah, spoke to Genki and he also heat gunned the top of the plastic fender lining and pushed it up...so i think thats what i would do too..but now the question is about the Metal Bracket...hahaha..
