That's bootleg.

Everyone knows you use drywall screws for front bumpers.

That's why I didn't remove my empty plate holder until I got the euro plate.

The rivets for the plate holderare very soft, easy to drill through I used a 1/8 bit to get started, then I think a 3/16 bit to finish and the rivet head just came right off.

Quit wasting time and get a euro plate if you're in a state with no front plate requirement. It's money well spent IMO. Good looks, and covers the holes from the stock plate holder. Plus If you do get a front bumper in the future you can still use it.

ok so apparently there was already a thread about this kit, my bad for not searching thoroughly

https://www.audiforums.com/m_559401/tm.htm

that being said, they dont come to a conclusion on that thread either, so i went into one of the auctions for the kit that had ended and messaged someone who had purchased the kit to see if i could get any feedback on it from them. if he gets back to me, i'll post.

Good call, keep us updated.

A lot of us are in the same boat as you as far as that front bumper is concerned

heres the response i got, unfortunately, it doesnt tell me much






Dear jsheezy44,





the fitment is not that great. And remember to watch out for shipping. It starts getting pricy.

I wouldn't touch a cheap fiberglass kit with a ten foot pole. Fitment is gonna SUCK and if you so much as drop a screwdriver on it, more than likely you'll have spidercracked the whole damn thing.
