Ive been cutting the bumper and making mounting brackets for a few days now. And I finally got them on the car and the bumper today, so I decided to see what it looks like.


Its a better fit then before but its not even close to perfect. The driver side has a half inch gap, and the passenger side has a 1/4 inch gap.
All my measuring didnt do squat...




This is one of the brackets that holds the front.


This one slides into the stock elantra mounting point on the side.


Tomorrow Im going to look for some mesh to cover up some of the holes, and I will prime the it.

i'd have to agree with socks but it's up to you. not like keeping/getting rid of that hole will give you anything.
