After @100 miles (half manual/half full auto) this has been my experience as well.

And congrats! It's a great looking car!

So now we've established that not only do this forum's reviews beat the car mags but so do the photos!

Nice!

How is that front bracket mounted exactly? Are those bolts front to back through the bumper cover? Or is there something holding it from underneath?

What I really want to know is, if you remove that front bracket are you left with two visible holes in your bumper?

Thanks.
