    @JLee besides the install tech sheet on your website, you have any pictures or videos on how to install the bumper and brackets?

    Im lost where to trim where needed.

    Or anybody have a link or videos on how they installed?

    I have a 2014

    We don't have videos the 2nd gen is so easy to install. Trimming is not necessary other than the splash guard on the 2nd gen.

    We don't send shipment ETA's The lead times are listed on the site. Around the allotted lead time you will receive an email stating it's ready for pick up or a freight invoice for shipping. Hybrids are pretty constant at 8 to 10 weeks but the holidays we always lose a week or two.

    The EVO will fit no problem.

    It will take you a few on and off tries to see where you have to trim but its not to bad.
    And i didnt realize i would lose my grill lower mounting tabs, but then again any aftermarket bumper on the market will be the same.

    This bumper still gives me a boner

    On the stock skid plates they have little fingers on the frame so when you unbolt it, it wont fall down. You just have to trim the finger off so the bumper will go flush if that make sense.

    And remember to tie im the reinforcement brackets the same time i had to redo everything again:) lol
