Can you take pictures and write instructions in this thread? I'm interested in all the front bumper issues folks have had. I haven't yet had any issues, but I think it's just a matter of time and want to make sure I know what I need to do. Thanks

I just got the Kansai new version that has just one "big" bolt and nut, with a hole drilled through the plates. Anyone install this version yet? The bolt seems way too big to fit without scraping paint off the body of my car.
I'm planning on cutting the clip hole in them and drilling ends for smaller bolts that will fit nicer. Unless there's a trick I'm missing? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk |

The one from OP's pic makes the most sense. Anyone knows a similar fix to it? The new ones just seem like way too much trouble.

Update: purchased the side marker bumper bracket for driver's side + headlight bracket for both sides and this is the result:
Note on first pic the gap on fender and headlight Then look at the same places: So the little metal thing is a great idea for an easy fix, but after doing this I realized that is not the main issue. The brackets were bad to begin with, so they've made new ones. And while it's not 100% fixed (more like 99), this is more of a permanent fix than the original tool in this thread.
