Bc 2 Front Bumper

BC 2 FRONT BUMPERs are a POS from flaws - no alighment holes -floppy material where stiffness is needed-upper attachment points 1/2 inch shorther then stock connection points. g#@ d%^m thing is a pain in the a$$ to install.



(NEEDED TO VENT BEFORE I EXPLODED)


Have a nice day . THAT IS ALL

Welcome to the aftermarket... it took some work to get my fiberglass hood to fit properly too...

Aftermarket body kits suck for the most part. That's why i went with the lip kit, less headache's. I have a friend that got an extreme dimensions drifter 2 kit and that was the most non fitting, biggest peice of crap i think i have seen to date. Why the hell can't aftermarket manufacturers make stuff that actually fits? Good luck with the bumper Maurice, i'm looking forward to seeing it next weekend. I'm sure it will look great but i bet you will have a few more gray hairs, lol...

short? really you have to take off everything off the bumper except the metal bumper frame and it should be able to reach both sides. I am still having the same gap problems that I had with the stock bumper, but Imma just glass the gaps and call it a day. good luck
