I've worked in manufacturing for a long while now. It's not worth the trouble for a $15 part

I purchased this and it worked for me. You have to modify the corner support(under the headlight) so the nut cannot bind or catch on it. I also took a slim metal saw and made a small notch on the nub of the corner support so the metal reinforcement can slip and stay. While still being able to remove it.

My advice is to remove the bumper completely with the corner supports and modify and fit them until there good. It's a lot faster. I attached the metal pieces just removing the top part of the bumper, while it did work. I had to be extra careful with tools around the fender. I ended up having to remove all 3 later on to fully get them to clip in.

Just my 2 cents

did you guys glue the metal piece to the back of the bumper tabs under the headlight?

Any kind of epoxy for plastic and metal. Usually comes in 2 tubes stuck together. Looks like a syringe. Or JB Weld. Any auto parts or hardware store will carry several varieties

Looks like the part is no longer listed on Japanparts. Anyone know another place that sells these?
