Jay,
I noticed that my front bumper on my Tiger had been pulled in the
center. This, as you said, caused the bumper to face down. I mounted another
bumper I had laying around that looks straight. Once mounted I noticed one
side is too close to the car and this bumper also faces down (not as bad
though). Do I need new mounts or can I switch my mounts around? I can have
my machine shop guy make new brackets or get them from SS. Could even get
the shop to repair mine.
My rear bumper gets in the way of removing the trunk key. Anyone have
this problem? If so, What did you do to fix it?
