That is a pretty sweet kit you have as well. Mind mentioning the manufacturer or a link? Was it a full bumper replacement?

Also is your GS lowered? I have 19' wheels and have found that they rub when I make a sharp turn so lowering really isn't an option. At least I believe lowering will make the rubbing worse.

What size tires do you have? I am running 20" with 245/35/20 and had slight rubbing but took care of that with heat gun. No more rubbing. I am not lowered at this time but will be my next project

Running 245/35/19. Looks to be the same dimensions on a smaller wheel. I looked at the tire while having someone turn the steering wheel completely around and just found an area that was extremelly close. I only hear what I think is rubbing, when I back out of my garage and making a sharp turn out of the driveway (in reverse). While normally driving, I never hear any rubbing.

thanks for the compliments, it's job design bumper replacement modified

i have 20s with low profile tires. offsets are aggressive so both front and rear fenders are modified and i pretty much have no rubbing now unless i hit very bad dips

your 245/35/19 are actually spec size tires. 245/35/20 are overspec (1" overspec). you are rubbing the front and/or rear of the front wheel well, but think about think, if you are at hard lock sharp turns, you aren't going fast anyway (and especially when you are going in reverse). there is really nothing to worry about. as long as you don't rub when driving normally that's the key

my car is on tein cst lowered all the way. without modding fenders i probably can't even get out of driveways (rub like crazy), but now i am all good

If you don't mind me asking, what was the ball park on parts and installation? Also do you have any recommendations on vendors for the job design parts as well as a local body shop? Thanks!

Yes, the kit is Admiration, it is a bumper replacement modified.
The grill is also Admiration.
