Bumper over-riders
« on: July 28, 2013, 16:14:37 »
Looked around site and did not see this. Does anyone know if the over-riders on front bumper are the same? The one in the right side does not fit flush to the bumper.  Could I have two left ones?

Thanks

Chuck

I would guess they are the same. Do you still have the nylon-ish gaskets to go between the overriders and the bumper-proper?

They are specific to the side because the bumpers are in a 'V' sloping back on each side.  The gaurds are cut with onside deaper than the other specific to which side they mount to.  I once had a body flunky mix to 113's gaurds and matched 2 lefts on my care 2 right on another.  It is so strange looking I couldn't understand how they could say my car was ready.  Another reason I do my own work as much as possible.

Aha, makes sense, thanks.
