Looks like your sidemarkers are wired wrong, unless that was intentional. Love the SIR bumpers

You should remove your bumpers and pound them out so they fit flush on the fenders and get new hardware. Those gaps make the car look cheap and run-down.

I used this method on my car years ago and it works wonders. I'd recommend using a locking nut though since a standard nut will likely come loose over time.

I'm using a bolt with 2 washers, a lock washer, and a nut for mine. It's been great so far, but I do remove my front bumper at least twice a month lately.

Car looks good!

Lower it a tad more with a smaller tire and the fitment would look great IMO.
