Take down the silver skid plate and you truly can’t miss it. Loosen the black underbody shields to aid in shimmying the skid plate out.

I ended up at about an 1/8th also. I will back it off a hair next time the car is in the air, but in the meantime it feels way better. Just a touch to tight

There’s a ton of variables at play here. In the paint line we use at work refraction only has one variant. With that said it could be bad mix, incorrect air pressure lightens and darken colors, to dark of an undercoat, and/or cheap clear.

Interesting. id assume parking support means sensors, so it appears 02 is correct.

Ive been wanted to replace my bumper since its absolutely blasted with stone chips. This time around i intend to ppf the bumper. Anyways, Ive been calling all my local dealers in search of a front bumper and these guy all have conflicting information. That being said i have a 2022 3.0 base...
