About the latches:
Only 1 latch will be needed for the fenderwell kit per side. If the area is popping off under the headlights as well, you will want to order a pair of full latch kits as well, which will be in the link sent when you order. You can even order our fenderwell kit first, then if needed after, order the front latch later.

The goal is to go from the bumper falling off, to this:

The how-to will be updated to reflect the final design as needed, but overall, it is pretty similar to the prototype.

PICS of final product:

 

Ugh these are so sexy! I want gen2 ones so bad, Area under light passenger side keeps popping out, as does the edge of the rear quarter panel under the gas cap. Glad to see there's huge interest with money going back into the forum.

 

GenPu will have a fix. Soon. And it will be affordable as well. Y'all will like what @Faeker and I have done.

$45 shipped is AMAZING. Dang, once the Genpu ones release it's going to be bittersweet that I spent so much on an inferior product

Hopefully my pics were an asset to that process. Hopin' it works well for my fellow Genpu peeps!

When you see what @Faeker and I have done (if concept is valid), it should make that joke of a product obsolete.

I did see your pics, and it got me a view of a possible fix. @Faeker volunteered to be the test and has been quick to do this.

The RaiderFab/Faeker GenPu solution is going to be awesome. Oh man...I am probably more excited than Faeker is.

I was trying to help @Faeker with a ruler for reference to aid in understanding the Genpu's fender/bumper geometry.

 

I'm more excited about not crapping myself the past 3 days. Been grossly ill.

Not true! Bondo makes a putty! Fill them holes! Cover with faux carbon fiber adhesive tape (duck tape).

That makes me skeered. I am NOT a body man, LOL. I'm afraid I'll try to make it better, then make it a ton worse, LOL. Then I'd have to get a body place to paint the patches and try to blend it well. Who knows how much that'll cost or how it'll turn out?

 

Can't wait for the GenPu version.

Was about to look for other alternatives

I used it on our Sienna. Shit works well. Look up Bumper Bondo.

 

I'm taking the 4 kits to Beach & Boost 5 tomorrow and will offer a special rate on them at the event. Just ordered 25 more sets of latch brackets, too. So more will be ready.

As you install em, post up pics!

 

Done and done I'll try to cut and upload the video tonight.
