Re-working front bumper
Supply of the old design front bumper cover has been discontinued (as a service part). When replacing an old design front bumper cover on a vehicle (built prior to 2/14/2011) with a new design cover you will need to first widen both side holes on the new design front bumper cover from approximately 7 mm to:
- R-Hand Side: 9x12 mm, L-Hand Side: 10x12 mm and then assemble using existing trim fasteners. The existing bolts can be installed through the two (2) center holes of the new front bumper cover design without any additional modifications.
