Time Invested: 1 hour with air tools

So the cardboard prototype finally had enough, it was falling off the car by the time I got to this mod, so the timing was great. Lets get to it!

The custom ABS plastic covers from Tap Plastics in Stockton, they did a really nice job cutting it to the correct size and shape, based on my template of course;



Some of the attaching hardware, L brackets from Ace hardware, some automotive screw clips, and self tapping screws for the bumper;







It was pretty straight forward, I just mounted the L brackets at 4 corners of the bumpers and used self tapping screws to hold them in like so;



Then, drill holes in the plastic, screw them in and paint the screws black...done!;



I'm not entirely satisfied with how they look, so I may do something more recessed in the future, just to make it less obvious.
