So my clear turns came in the mail yesterday so I thought I would get them on right away, so I had to switch my bumper. After a few hours (mostly because all the bolts were rusted on) I was finally able to switch the bumpers with the help of a friend of course. Here's what it looks like now...
   The only problem I had was that 1 of the 3 bolts on the drive side broke. It was the plate with the bolts on it that connects to the fender .. there is a small gap that is somewhat noticeable. It was the bottom bolt that broke (would that deter the strength of the bumper?) .. should I replace it .. if you guys think i should, does anyone have the part number for it? Driver side (gap)  Passenger side (no-gap)

No need to replace unless you are a perfectionist
