Front Bumper Help Please..., Aftermarket Front Bumper trouble Options

[StylnPlane]

Regardless im getting a new front bumper very soon. How did you guys put yours on? Because I took off my Vader Front bumper,
to fix my headlights. And ever since then it doesnt sit right, its virtually impossible to get the top bolt+nut into the hole. On my
car theres 3 holes that match up on each side.. for a nut and bolt.
*Does the aftermarket bumper bolt on in a different, better way?*
Thx,
Zac.
P.s The top bolts that go on, near where the hood edge sits, are fine to get in. Its the the ones on the sides! Pretty much only the top ones are a pain.

But theres gotta be an easier way, i thought about it. And it doesnt make sense that, that would be the solution.
Because the bumpers bolt onto the fenders... Hmm..

[TheChildOfTheSea]

Well if you took it off...you should be able to put back the same way!
Depends also which brand of aftermarket...sometime it's bolt on sometime you have to make the holes yourself...

Maybe take some pictures would make it easier to understand, because I'm not sure what you mean...

you took off your front bumper...which is a vader right now...you want to put it back or you want to pout your new bumper on?

Yah idk how to add pics while on the reply window. It asks me for a url? ....
Anyways, as of right now im just trying to put he bumper back on.
But im planning on gettin a new bumper soon, and i`m hoping that a new bumper, will go on more easly.

I would just remove the fenders and bolt it back that way and then put the fenders back on...

Usually, aftermarket bumpers will screw in your factory holes: you might have to drill the holes in your new bumper, by yourself or a body shop

Alright well ill leave what i have on for now.
Untill I get the new bumper. Once I have it, ill just end up taking the fenders off and putting everythiing together then.
Thanks for the help

You're welcome my friend

Nice to see someone from Grimsby I used to live by the falls but I moved back to Quebec when I lost my job there...Might see me with my white GT4 somewhere in July, at the port, going scuba diving

[StylnPlane]

Oh yah? What port? Theres plenty near me. I live about... 10 seconds from one. Aha
between Grimsby and Burlington/Hamilton theyre all over the place.
Isnt lake ontario too dirty for diving?

[TheChildOfTheSea]

Of course not! there's lots of wrecked ships over there! it's really at the Grimsby Marina, we take the boat, we go 20km off shore and we dive there. I've never dove in there yet, but I did a lot in welland canals, it's gross but it's sweet haha, nice ambiance!

[StylnPlane]

Thats pretty cool! Maybe by then ill have my new bumper on
