Aaahhhh no more rubbing...byebye bumper bracket!

So after installing my spacers last weekend ive been rubbing like a fat chicks thighs.

After a week of rubbing i take off the wheels and see the bumper brackets LMFAO ouch!





Sooo with a little persuasion...i chopped em off!



Bye Bye bumper bracket!!! (sorry crappy pic)




The bumper still lines up and stays flush due to the clip thats about 5" away from the bracket.

Trimed my liner and bracket today as well, but no where near that much. Running 275/19 on OEM with 15mm spacer. Was hitting little bit of the liner and could see just a touch on the bracket, but when it hit it was pretty noisy.....yours must have been really loud?

Yeah i had my liner and bracket trimmed since the week i got the car when i put on my lexanis.

Didnt have any rubbing til i put the spacers on the iforged and am basically running +17 in the rear. I trimmed the bracket down more but as you can see in the first two pics, it had to go, the driver side was basically gone anyway the bolt got completely torn out. lol
