Hey Rush, congratulations on the new bumpers. Yes you will need two brackets to attach the front and two for the rear.

[Rush]

Thanks, Ron! Drat I was afraid of that. I've got the rears (provided I can get them off my original bumper). I guess the hunt begins for front brackets! Thanks for the info!

Those bumpers will look great on the car! FYI, here's what the front brackets look like: https://www.futofab.com/index.php?optio ... 1#brackets

Thanks, Chris! I'm going to go order a set!

ETA: Hmm, the brackets are reasonable but the $91 shipping for them and headlight trim rings is a bit steep. I think I'll have a browse around online before committing to that. It appears that they have a $47 per item shipping charge. I added another set of headlight rings to my cart and the shipping price went up another $47 & change. Ouch.

Yikes, that's pretty insane/ridiculous.

[RONSLYCHUK]

Very steep shipping charge imo.

I'm wondering if it's a bad "default" setting in FutoFab's store. The cart/store system is pretty clunky and from what I understand the guy has way better things to do than mess with that kind of thing. I can't imagine they'd intentionally charge $47+ to mail a 4 oz set of trim rings. I'm going to shoot them an email and hope they reply. Worst case, there's a new set of brackets on eBay for $105, which isn't much better.

I would try the email as well. Dave (Patten) can probably do a manual invoice. He did that for me on a set of VTO wheels since his site for some reason does not offer the center cap choice (last I checked). Watch your spam folder. For some reason when I email back and forth with him, one of us typically gets something sent to that folder. No idea why.

I likely have a spare set of front bumper brackets, so if you find you still need some, I will only charge $46 shipping.

[Rush]

LOL! I know a bargain when I see one, IM!

I'll see if I can get a response from them. If not, I'll hit you up. Thanks!

[Rush]

Well, they (Dave) replied and he said it was indeed a cart error but the bad thing is that they're sold out of the brackets with no ETA. Drat!

[Rush]

Heavens to Murgatroyd, look at that beauty gleam!

[RONSLYCHUK]

Beautiful!

[Pista_510]

That looks absolutely sensational!

[Rush]

Thanks! I agree! I'm in love! I can't wait to put the front one on!

[James]

Nothing like a little bling!
