I'm trying to mount the FG bumper tops from the group buy. They fit wonderfully, but I've got a few questions for those who have already mounted their tops.
1. How do you mount the top to the bumper? There are rubber fingers that extent through the original bolt holes, but no info on how you are to keep it attached. Some sort of "speed nut" from the local Ace Hardware comes to mind. 2. What did you do about mounting a license plate lamp? There is no provision for mounting the factory lights. 3. I've got a couple of scuffs in the paint that need a touch-up. I've got a can of Rust-Oleum black that would probably work, but I'm wondering if I should be looking for something specifically for fiberglass. TIA for the help. |

They do fit well and look great! David is right, just pull the rubber off of the studs. Then make a trip to your local hardware store to pick up some metric nuts & washers. I forgot what size they are.
Just did this...I took measurements from an old rear bumper top & used a Dremmel tool to cut out the areas for the license plate lights. I attached them to the fiberglass with sheet metal screws.
