I was looking for a while for this post, and I just wanted to throw a new post in here for this thread to get more visibility.

Bump. Does anyone know if Toyota has a TSB for this?

nikitopo · 05-02-2020, 03:33 AM

I still have this bumper plate. Waiting to install it when I'll remove the bumper at some point of time. Not so urgent currently ..

How many did you ordered? 2 or 4?

I ordered 2. One for each side.

That's what I was thinking as well. I'm replacing my front bumper, so mind as well get that plus new support rails to get it tightly fit again.

What is this issue exactly?? I’m not sure if my car has the problem?

Essentially your bumper pops out of its clips and is no longer flush. If you don't have it yet, you will…

Mine was totally fine (MY2013) until just recently. Might as well buy and install these clips before it happens to you!

My 6 year old, 150,000 mile, lowered FRS, that bounced the bumper off any incline over about 20 degrees and many a speed bump was still 100% fine. In fact when I sold it one of the first things the guy said was "Hey, it doesn't have bumper gap".

one of the lucky ones I guess!

and an update: I installed these and it still didnt fix it, so it must be the brackets

I have the dreaded bumper gap on my 2013 BRZ. I bought two of these metal pieces (57722CA030 - $11 each from the dealer) and new bumper brackets (57707CA050 & 57707CA040). The fix was successful for one day and now have the gap again. Is there no permanent solution?
