Installing the Underride guard!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey, I got a question before I start installing the underride protection kit that I order.
I found some pdf document on another forum and in the instruction under 13 it said that I have to make some cuts into the front bumper. The picture shows a standard bumper, I have the 4.8is front bumper.

Has anyone installed the underride guard with a 4.8is bumper. If so did you make the cuts like in the picture?

I don't have the underride guard. But if I put one in, I would loosely mounted, mark and trim as needed.

I installed it on a 4.8is bumper and did have to make notches on them. Not terrible. I used a Dremel.

Did you make the cuts where the blue tape is?

Also did you loosely mount the guard and then checked were to cut and how much?

Thanks for the picture

I made the cut in the small painted plastic rectangle that the tape outlines. I cut the size according to the instructions and did not have a problem with install.

Do you mean the rectangle that is not the blue tape circled in red?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/20/u5ady5ev.jpg
