[QUOTE="SVT_Troy, post: 16070940, member: 124907"] The fun part is now over and next requires a bit of patience but isnt that bad. Following tip #1 will make this process alittle easier. Right now you just need to get the length of the stud and orientation in the hole correct so it puts enough tension on the bumper. I left the stud slightly lose so it could slide around with a minor amoutn of force. I then installed the bumper and snapped the pushbutton onto the stud. If it isnt fastening the you need to lengthen the stud so it reaches the button correctly. If the stud is to long the bumper wont sit all the way against the fender like your used to see it. This just requires a bit of patient but overal isnt that bad. Once you get the length correct take the studs outside normal nut off and put your locknut on with a tad bit of thread locker. Dont tighten the stud all the way, leave it slightly loose like earlier, install the bumper and once the postion of the stud is correctly aligned and secured to the push button then tighten the locknut. having. I did it snug but like i noted in tip# 2, if you dont use a thick washer it may bend alittle. End result [ATTACH=full]1533717[/ATTACH]IMG_7508 I think it turned out failry clean and seems to be plenty secure with only one pushbutton per side. I contemplated doing two per side replacing the oem studs with push buttons but i figure I'll give this the ol college try. Seems to be nice and secure to me, i'll report back if I have issues. As always if you have questions please feel free to ask! Thanks for looking, Troy [/QUOTE]
