Let us know if this fixes the bumper alignment once you install. I have the same problem on mine. Drivers side.

Thanks for the part numbers. My passenger side is having issues. You say there is a TSB for it, but it's an out of pocket purchase?? That's a bit frustrating that they're not covering the new brackets. How much are the brackets?

Thanks!

Also. Are the brackets universal? Will this correct the bumper alignment for both FRS and BRZ?

Sorry I meant if you can't get them to cover it. There is a thread for this with a picture of the tsb. I can't go in for warranty work because I am supercharge so I paid out of pocket. About 25$ per

I remember someone saying that when putting on the bumper you need to start with the center of it and then work your way to the side and he had no problems. Almost as if you're hugging the bumper back on the car or something, hope it helps.

No its the design. Of the brackets they don't have large engough tabs to hold

No I think you have to buy new ones. Or complain to dealer after it doesn't line up.
