I'm still slightly confused even with the instructions.

I guess I don't mind the sag that bad.. lol

Are there any alternative kits/fixes to this issue? That v2 bracket install is just wild..

The install of the new permanent ones looks so difficult. My clips are damaged, might just fabricate a new clip out of some hard plastic and some Q Bond or something instead. I'm also thinking about making a 3d printed version of V1 of the clip and printing it in ABS or PET.

Might be able to sell a few of those

Would this be covered under the 3 year warranty ? One side on my 2017 86 does this I have noticed.

Probably

A case of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted I know, but there is a very good YouTube or How To showing how easy it is to remove the front bumper WITHOUT damaging these dreaded clips.

I think it requires pushing the panel in and then down rather than pulling straight out.

Does anyone have a link or know where it is located?

I saw it once but forgot to save it to Favs,

Any update to this? Has anyone found a v1 version anywhere or made something similar yet?? I agree the current v2 version is just way too complicated, but I need to fix this bumper gap. It’s driving me crazy
