I hate how on the NEO the grill is molded into the bumper....
So you can't use stock grill, altezza grill, sd grill or anything..

It looks like dexlex had to cut out that grill that was molded in,
That must have been a serious project for your body shop!

The thing I do like about dexlex's bumper is that it has those little stands for the foglights, that's really helpful.
I wouldn't wanna put that much money into modifying the bumper though, probably spent more in modifying it than the bumper cost!!

I had the same problem..
You will probably have to screw it or use epoxy.

The grill for the NEO bumper isn't molded, you can use whatever grille you want. I switched my OEM grille for an Altezza one.

Good luck to OP in your searches for a NEO bumper, they are hard to come by these days.

On cheap knockoffs it is molded.

LOL....yeah it was a lot of work and i spent alot of money. It took a week to get it done. My mechanic did the body work to fit the new intercooler(does body work on the side) and i had another shop paint the bumper I did cut out the grill to fit the altezza grill. It was a PAIN to do

there is alot of cutting involved when running this bumper ...im runnning a huge intercooler 30x12x3...you have AC lines that are on the top and we re plumbed the power steering lines to fit around the intercooler. Its tedious to do it RIGHT...
