Hi
Hoping someone can shed some light, long story short the car was purchased minus bumper. I just purchased a GT -Racing front GT bumper. Looking at it I only see two solid brackets.. I am not with the car right now and was curious if the two brackets simply mate up with the holes in the chassis for mounting? Seems odd that the bumper would only mount at two points each below the head light area? Doesn't seem very strong?  |

Once you align and decide where to drill the holes, you'll need to come up with some way to put speed nuts or other fasteners on the bumper unless some are already glassed in place. I had the Getty Dsign front bumper on my car, but it came with aluminum brackets that were drilled and used j nuts to capture the bolts.
As you've seen, they are quite light and flimsy. I eventually modified a steel bumper by cutting and welding an opening for the cooler opening as I wanted a bit more protection on my car. |
