Yes - all the work - in a condo garage / collect tools, go down to the garage, set up, remove license plate, remove bolts, remove bumper, sensors, test sensors, clean and grease, refit, align, etc etc then collect stuff and go back upstairs. Not having a garage sucks.

I never had the bumper painted or anything.

Then after getting a second key made for the car, the sensor / radar worked intermittently until it didn’t. Il...

Significantly heavier than stock hollow front.

- like a significant reduction on body roll
- slight increase resistance to...
