Front bumper help
I recently received my new front bumper (R-Magic's older version). In the process of trying to get the fitment right on it, I ran into a couple of problems. If anyone could give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Problem #1. The SRS (airbag system) sensors are in the way of the mounting points. I would like to know if those of you that have aftermarket bumpers, would you take them out. Also, What is the best way of doing it? I am pretty sure the system can be competely bypassed. If you have done this, please, let me know.
Problem #2. The front bumper support (the big metal piece) behind the front bumper needed to be removed. I am almost positive that this would be the normal practice of any aftermarket bumper. If I am wrong, please, let me know.
Problem#3. The electric horns on the car are keeping the bumper from sliding into position. My question is, where would be a good location to relocate them to? Where have you guys (again, those of you with aftermarket front bumpers) moved them to?
For what it is worth, I am fairly new at the body modifications. Although, I am trying to do everything right, the previous owner(s) had beat the car up pretty bad. Most of the parts are worn or or just fixed as fast as possible with no intensions of going back and doing it right. Hopefully, I can get the car running and looking good.
Thank you in advance for any replies
