No additional parts were needed for the install.

Just installed JGmods front, JGmods rear, OEM IS diffuser, and OEM Mtech sides. I installed the JGmods lower grill but with OEM fog light holder with oil cooler cut out (part is 5 bucks from tischer). See pics below. Fit is great. Everything lines up on my car. Small black item in lower center grill is front camera.

Buy this bumper with confidence that it will fit great. Add the OEM fog light holder or just cut the one from JGmods.

I had to remove the oil cooler shroud rubber gasket that sealed to the front of the regular bumper. It just comes right off the shroud. The shroud/ducting stays in place and is NOT removed. I only removed the small rubber piece. Its a piece of rubber and was about 4 inches wide and 3/4in thick. Once that was popped off it just went right on.

Try and figure out what/where its not fitting and address that area. I would look at the oil cooler shroud area and figure out if there is something going on there. Thats the only place where I could imagine there could be a problem.

Oh yeah, I remember you posted that before. I'll try that when I get home. I look right at that piece last night to, lol. Thanks!

Overall mine fit great. But it was a little too tight with that little piece on there. It was the bottom one on my ducting. The side one was able to stay on.

I removed the passenger side fender liner to better see what was holding me up. You might could try just moving the oil cooler ducting around by like 1/4 inch to get your clearance or by loosening the bolts on the oil cooler and moving it around since the ducting is attached to the cooler.

Last but not least you could test fit it by removing the passenger side fog light and brackets and see if it then fits. If it does then you know for sure its related to that and you can plan your course of action.

But overall once I removed that rubber seal the bumper fit 99.9%. Next time I have my bumper off (new grills, headlight restoration front camera wire rerouting and secondary oil cooler addition), I am going to try moving around the factory oil cooler by loosening the bolts. Then try and see if I can get that rubber seal back on. I have a feeling I probably can. It was that close on my car.

This work perfectly, it was the oil cooler duct! I just have to re-adjust the oil cooler duct lower. After that, it fit like a glove . It can fit with the rubber seal also. Thanks a lot!

Cool..

How did you adjust it lower? Did you just loosen it and move it? Or did it just flex down?

I loosen the three oil cooler bolts (didn't have too), but since it's just plastic it'll flex. Something just told me to try it before I finish removing the oil cooler. My stock tow hook doesn't fit good so I might take it off and throw on a tow hook.

Looks great!
