    Try one of the headlight removal videos on YouTube. That’s where I figured out how to get that piece off, it should show it where you can pause it and see what’s back there.

    RETAINER, FRONT BUMPER UPPER SIDE
    5252204010
    Quantity:2
    Price:$3.77

    RETAINER, BUMPER FILLER
    5253104010
    Quantity:2
    Price:$9.61

    SCREW, WITH WASHER TAPP
    90159A0029
    Quantity:2
    Price:$0.68

    GROMMET, SCREW

    Original ‘07 latch works great with the new hood. I can reach through the grill fine

    I just have an issue that someone needs to pull the hood up while someone else is unlocking it, thought it could be the latch

    Maybe adjustment ? might be slightly off so binding a little . Latch is spring loaded so when you pull release it should pop up.

    This is cool, I wonder if the facelift would work with a 2005 style arb bumper? I would like to do this at some point.

    I believe the mounting is the same but since the 2012+ grill isn’t as tall, there may be a gap between the ARB and your grill and headlights. Not positive though

    OP, was this 100% bolt on? What did you end up doing about the bumper crash bar?

    Well done. Update your 1st post after you sell your take offs. I'm curious to see the real cost after you sell the original parts
