you can make a brace that supports the bumper from under it like a ledge for the bumper to sit on. the 2 front portions of the under carriage as places for mounting the brace.

just for starters.

Tell me about it. I was already out of high school when the ae86 first came on the market.
(and yes... like my son says... there were only rocks and a club in my toolbox)

RESSURECTION!



I'm guessing you have to remove the stock bumper supports to install the bumpers correct?

Haha, thanks. Bash bars are optional or needed to keep them in place?


EDIT: Meant to say I just got my run free kit in.

It depends on where you plan to put the bash bar. I have one going across and right behind the very top lip which would run right above the bumper lights. Make sense?
