    Finished most of my conversion today. Had a couple of questions for folks that have done it:
    1. Did you end up replacing the plastic wheel well portion? Or just remove it?
    2. My headlight fillers are a little loose, but can't figure out what I may be missing. Anyone else experience this?
    3. What does the impact bar retainer bracket attach to? Right now, its just attached to the aluminum crash bar (middle of the bar)
    4. Would someone be able to send me a few pictures of the underside where the bumper attaches to the sides? Not sure what screw/tab I might be missing but it doesn't seem right to just use a plastic push-pin connector.
    I'll get some pictures tomorrow since it was night by the time I wrapped everything up. :)

    When people put on bumpers they need to trim linner . If you can score trimmed piece just cut yours and fit newer piece in .Bumper filler you got black plastic retainer ?

    My headlight retainers don’t fit that great either. They popped out when I hit a huge dip lol

    Ok, interesting on the liner. It had some extra holes on the bottom for the previous year, so I wasn't sure. I can take a look at that.

    The fillers for me had a slot on one end, that fit into a tab under the headlight. The green piece was also there.

    Awesome. Yep, just found them in the box of a few extra parts I didn't up needing. Time to take off those pieces and cram 'em on!
    Thanks for pointing that out!

    Just saw this thread today.
    Interesting because I have a 2015 and like the earlier front end with the straight bumper much better.
