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.

quick update for the pu guys; as it sits at the end of today, i have both latches installed and they're holding the bumper tight. the issue I'll be working on this week is getting it so the bumper itself isn't getting flexed by the latch. it's a slight depression on the bumper but it's not something I would want people to have to endure since it can be annoying to look at. when a solution to this small issue is found, the pu latch fix will be complete.

You guys are killin me, LOL. And any pics of this solution you mentioned to plug my drilled holes? I guess I'd need to go to a body shop to have them repainted after the patch too?

I know it's a kinda derp question; I was sorta thinking out loud. My concern is the paint matching/not looking noticeable, which may require a body shop visit... sigh... $$$... sigh...

Man up! Bondo! And then get some colour matches paint from Napa and paint it
Edit: even if you paint the entire bumper ;)

are you stating that the owner of said vendor has a smashed bumper on his own car?

Well no shit, just like a drug dealer you never use your own inventory.
