I replaced the plastic clip that's holding the bumper to the fender. I was following some instruction on YouTube "how to fix bumper gap". He replaced the plastic clip with a u-nut and 10mm bolt. I thought it would be a cheap fix if it was true. FYI 10mm is too thick. 5/16 works.

Haha. I called it differently. I actually followed the same instruction. The metal is glued on to bumper.

Got them installed over the weekend, on its 3rd day now still holding up well, before I have to knee my bumper back in place almost everyday.
when I put bumper back on, the tap gave me a positive audible lock-in sound, it just felt solid and tight! hope the gorilla epoxy glue I use lasts (finger crossed) |

Just got mine (took 2-3 weeks).
I was happy to discover they now come with a set of tiny nuts and bolts. Also, came with no instructions :/ Do you think I should attach them to the top or bottom of the bumper cover? A "before" photo attached, hopefully I'll have a much better looking "after" photo soon! |

You'd want them on the bottom. Nuts also on the bottom, screw's counter sunk into the plastic. That will lift the bumper up snug.
