    probably a stupid question but did you have to swap out the three brackets for the new bumper?The original brackets wouldn't work right?Also i notice towards the end of the video you have two plastic pieces that will attach to the headlight,those aren't original correct?I ask because i am replacing my support brackets as i got my front end f'ed up in a wreck and i don't have those two pieces.

    Hey Drewskie! I purchased the hood from a local after market place here in Tampa, Fl It's called Fitrite Auto body parts and accessories. The rest of parts other than brakets I got from Facebook market place.
