Agreed....simply awesome Rick.

Here's some shitty shots of mine....car is in the rebuilding process from a slight wreck lol...and yes I have new tires on the way for the rears...i bought the TE's w/ the tires already mounted and am not driving on them.










Part of the carnage from said wreck....along w/ 3 fubar'd wheels, one broken spindle, one broken ABS sensor, one broke compression rod, a bent fender, one bent rear trailing rod, one bent SPC camber arm, a completely missing half Stillen Splitter, and lots of scrapes and bruises all over the front bumper and sideskirts....what happens when you smack a curb at 30 mph and do a 540 while on the curb.....

Yeah, I orginally tried new tabs nade from ABS, glued to the underside of the bumper.
After they broke, I drilled the b!tch and went all in. Oh, well...

The tabs are what people use to "tuck" the sides with. But, the middle still sags.
If you are talking about the hard plastic pieces, I removed mine and threw them away.
I then cut off the tabs too. Check earlier posts for details...
