Default Yay new bumper!

Finally got the carson-tuned bumper painted and installed. Could anyone give me a tip on how to install the lower mesh grille? Metal tabs could only grab on the the top of the grille and the tabs on the lower part are a lil short to grab on to the mesh grille. Not to mention that the metal tabs looks really fragile and would break off easily..

You should be able to grab the lower mesh onto those thin metal clips. Definitely reinforce them with epoxy or black silicone.
