Anyone slammed and scraping their tire on the the bracket that mounts the bumper to the fender? How did you deal with it...OTHER then raising the car up.

 

1. Stretched tires

2. Relocate the bracket/screw

3. Shave the side of it

 

just get a flathead screw driver and a hammer and bend the tab up. doing this will still allow you to use that screw with that mounting point. i did that on mine and it doesnt rub as often anymore

 

I need a new bumper thanks to that

 

DYI fo ya...

#1 - cut the metal hanging vertical off.
#2 - Remove that black bumper snap fitting out and toss it.
#3 - Use the tabs ( these are bumper tabs) that used to snap in the black fitting above to mount SS bolts into the metal finder. Mark your holes with the tabs
#4 - predrill your holes ( be careful not to punch through the upper finder, drill slow)
#5 - Use bolts and washer in each tab.

*** You can tuck rim and drive all day everyday and never scrub again. *** Just remember full lock turns your tire is tucked, it can crush the finder under full lock.

 

Na do this DYI ^

 

ill still need a new bumper though

This one has seen better days

F it I need a new front lip anyways... LOL too much rubbage

 

So..basically you are jus getting rid of the black fitting that the hex screw used to screw into? and just straight screwing the bumper tab to the metal tab? the metal is still there to scrap the tire tho? I might not be picturing this right. Thanks for any help HKS350.

 

Kinda^^ You want to cut that metal away and toss the black bumper fitting.

 

Damn I wish you had pictures to go with this...I'm a visual kind of guy.


All I did was pound the crap out of that bracket till it bent up enough.

 

I'll buy that front lip and color match it to my car

 

its good if you repaint my front lip but its front has some cracks...

i think i had a hater that kicked it
