I ended up fabricating new ones with sheet metal and a dremel then swamping the damn thing with epoxy. End result is it's locked on tight and I'm not longer missing a hip.
Now to find the lemans flairs for the front.  |
I had the same issues with my rear lower flares and the clips. When I got my bumper, one side was off and the clips were gone. The other side had only 3 of 6 holding it on. Dealer couldn't figure out what I needed. I went back today and we found the mounting kit for the lower flares. 6 metal clips and one expanding rivet per side. The used lower flares looked like the PO had run over paint and it got on the inside surface of the flare so I took some cleaner and started to clean it and found that they are fricking painted plastic. The black came off and they are primer gray underneath. I knew I wasn't going to be able to match the color and texture of the upper flares that are new so ordered new lowers too. This 4.8 rear bumper conversion is quickly approaching $2K.
Let me know what you find on the front Le Mans flares. I am in the same situation...
