ok, long story short, came out a mates house, didnt relise how f*&^ed his kirb was and bammmm!!!! new gtr frount bar was dragin on the ground, the fact that where i got it fitted in perth were the most dodgies tools goin around didnt help, anyways i took it of got gf to put it in her car, drove it home with no frount bar, must say it looks awsome with just the fmic starin at ya, anyways what ya need are

*battery drill with a 1/8 drill bit

*pop rivits

*some sore of steel plate, u used steel angle but smashed it down flat and cut it down to fit,

anyways 1st thing i did was get rid of that crappy plastic under the wheel arches, all it does is get in the way, then take the bumper of, get your steel plate and cut a long peice around 200mm long by roughly 25mm wide, fit it under the lip were ya holes on the fender have already split, cracked, whatever... then drill and pop rivit every hmmmmm say 1 inch, otherwise if there to close it will still be quite brittle, also be carefull that once one pop rivits are and and while drilling in new rivits, that the steel plate doesnt get to hot,, it can cause the pop rivits to heat up and bust out, so just take it easy and get a good amount in there, then once that is all in nice and hard, estimate where your screw is gona go to screw it back onto the car with, then using a 5,6mm drill bit drill it in, pre drill with the 1/8th bit 1st and also remember to not let it get to hot, if ya cant make any sense of this, i got some pics below of what i did, hope it helps

Dont mean to sound rude. But that crappy plastic stops rocks putting little dents in your guards. As in the dents that come from the inside, so they stick OUT, cant bog them up. Other than that shes apples!
