Rear "retro" bumper installation. Appears the "kit" brackets are of ZERO value. Custom fabricated brackets and added some strength well exceeding the "included brackets".

Fantastic job on the bumper brackets. That’ll be going on my To Do list for sure.

I assume they won’t help much in a crash scenario but they look strong enough to withstand the occasional “push it by the bumpers” situation.

We were not happy with the lines and finish work so it went back through the paint cycle for a proper result. The flash back retro install of early model indicators came out really nice.
