Front bumper under body panel attachment clip layout?
Hello.
My bumper was previously replaced and it seemed like it was never installed correctly. Since I'm installing the under tray now I wanted to see how the tabs should be layered/installed so that its like from the factory. Below are the two tabs, one from the fender wheel liner and other from the middle of the bumper, which have two different layouts/mounts if I'm not mistaken. The fender side has the bumper tab, fender liner and a clip. I believe the fender side might be correct. The center of bumper has an extra tray that holds the yellow anchor. Its a clip that goes onto the bumper tab with the clip facing up, so that the bolt screws into it.I'm not sure about the middle of fender. Yellow clip with tray, second is the under tray and last is bumper tab. Is that layout correct? It seems with this layout that the scoops are hidden as seen in the pics. Is something wrong there? Am I missing something?
The bumper tabs should be like the 2nd picture. Somebody got lazy...
Ok, so I found online a pic of that clip that goes in the first picture. So from you are saying that it should look like in the second picture. I assume that the bumper blue tab needs to be on the bottom. Does that mean the clip from the below picture get attached to the fender liner or the bumper? If it would get attached to the bumper tab, there would be nothing to hold it to the fender liner. Unless it gets attached to the fender liner and the bumper goes on top of that.

The clips are part number 52526-53020 for the front and 90179-05060 for the four screws on the sides. There are three push pins, part number 90467-07214. The four screws in the front are 90159-60477 and they're longer than the rest of the screws in the undercover (all the rest are the same).
I can't count the number of times I've had this off and on, so it's like muscle memory at this point. The one trick I've learned is the center push pin locates the entire undercover, so stuff that in place first so the whole cover is held in the right position.
