I hate to be one of those guys, but the price does seem ridiculous considering the only thing specific to the BRZ is those angled spacers.
Kind of glad I waited this one out.

Love how everyone is so quick to judge mor on the only specific market for the brz/frs bumper reinforcement even though more than 90 percent on this thread are scared to drill holes in their bumpers to install it.
Why don't we wait for the instructions and see how it comes out, pretty sure there is not a plate for a reason. Can't wait for this to fix the gap. |

Instructions or not, I don't see any way that those angled spacers WONT be floating around freely with the bumper off. They're not threaded. it honestly looks like a universal kit. Even if this were priced at $120US, I would of had to think about ordering it.

I'm going to wait for the DIY/Instructions to be released before making my decision. If theres some kind of voodoo magic involved that goes against the logical assembly of how it appears to go together, then I'll put them in. You have to realize that I'm not on some blind witch hunt on this one. I was one of the guys preaching patience for a company that's new to the platform, but after receiving the goods, my tune has changed completely. Have you received yours yet?

I've recently been in touch with Jeff about the situation and he provided the following response and asked me to share it with you all.
In my opinion, I'm fairly satisfied with the package and the candid response that Jeff provided. From Jeff: Quote:

You have 8 nuts and washers there, screw one on to each post. Poke said post through hole, spacer on back side gives it the correct alignment and then second nut on back and tighten it up. That will hold it all in place at the correct depth. I haven't had a good look inside the bumper recently to see what holes to use or if drilling is required as I've been waiting for these before doing that again... But actually if there are four oe holes existing it's quite a good solution not requiring a bracket. What I am a little annoyed at is the lack of template for drilling the bumper holes. However I'm prepared to wait out the instructions and see how clear they are with where to drill those. Also I am a little concerned that the only car we've seen them on is a BRZ and the bumpers are different between the cars. So slightly concerned they may only be a match for the BRZ bumper. |

Where would we have received them at, email, pm on here, or somewhere else? Just checked their site and didn't see them there either? Am I missing something?
