How do you *properly* install a C-West Rear Bumper?
I don't think my installer put in my c-west rear bumper correctly. They put screws through the stock bumper clips that held in the stock bumper and into the frame
This is the spot where they drilled into the stock clip and into the frame.
This is what is left of the clip.
Does anyone know if C-West should provide something to go into the holes to attach the rear bumper to?

The white piece in the 2nd pic I believe are a 3 piece part listed below. Not 100% sure cause the diagram I was looking at to find these pieces wasn't very detailed.
Bumper cover clip: Bout $6.00ea
Bumper cover nut: bout $1.50ea
Bumper cover grommet: bout $10.00ea
Also follow the link to the removal of the rear bumper and maybe it'll help.

You'll see where that white piece in pic 2 goes in step 7 of the removal. Hope that helps.

I'm wondering if C-West included something that clips into these holes that will let you screw the bumper in.
**Update**
I think I figured out a solution:
I took the clips from the front bumper underguard and I think it's going to work nicely! Now I have to find some replacements. Anyone know the part # for these?

For future reference should anyone need a clip like this go to fastenal. Unfortunately, they made me buy a box of 100 but locally they were only 10 bucks. Should anyone need some I can hook you up; with screws too.
