I guarantee a lot of us that have removed the bumper are missing one if not both of those tabs.
I found a piece of plastic when I was installing my mountune intercooler, and I could not for the life of me figure out where it went now I know. My bumper fits fine though.

If for some reason I need to remove my bumper again maybe I will order this piece. Shipping will probably cost as much as the part.

So I just looked and I'm missing it on the passengers side it is still there on the driver's side on top of the bar.

Finally got around to figuring out why my FiST #2 had the gap.

If you look through your grill and your tabs are missing, that be the problemo
One of those popped off the first time I took the bumper off but it lined up perfectly. The second time is when the gap was there.

I think I'll be putting in the V1 tomorrow so I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the pictures

No problem. I honestly don't see any other place where the misalignment can take place. I have checked all other points just to be sure. There are no other supporting areas aside from the top which doesn't do the job for vertical alignment.

Got my V1 installed (it's nice) and still had one piece of those supports lying around.

Got my new ford piece in next day as usual

Then instead of running an aluminum piece I decided to use some epoxy to thicken up the bend area
What is the part number? Good idea on the epoxy

Had my hotside charge pipe blow off on the highway. I knew I should have reversed the way the clamps were on (a tbolt and worm) but sprayed a bunch of hairspray on the pipe and got things on there tightly. Fingers crossed.

The car drove fine without the turbo and I was lucky it was so close to home. Surprised it didn't throw codes or anything.

I will probably use some of the 'Qwik Steel' (or JB Weld) putty stuff to build up both sides of the bend in that piece when I order a new one to have when I replace the factory IC with the CP-E. [thumb]

It has held my torn off from catching the passenger side mud flap on rocks, rear bumper fender well tabs perfectly. [:)]

Watched my estimated tq and hp monitors today in 100* heat. 170hp and 260 tq on e30. Got me looking at big turbos and meth kits...

Finally installed my one step colder pregapped NGK's from Whoosh today. Plug change is about as easy as it gets on any car I have had.

2 little pro tips, Get a deep magnetic spark plug socket, so much better than the old style rubber insert plug sockets. Also I have the whoosh crossover pipe as well and recall when I installed it that the valve cover breather hose was really tough to get seated and clipped on the bung. Today it was not coming off any easier. I pulled the OEM breather hose off at the valve cover side, unclipped whatever sensor is on it and rotated the whole hose assembly up and out of the way to reach the coil and plug on the drivers side, leaving the whole hose assembly attached at the crossover pipe. Much easier than dealing with the crossover pipe connection.

Plugs definitely helped to clean up the idle and sharpen things up on the drives after. Car is at 30k miles and I assume what was in there was original. Well worth the $40 or whatever and maybe 30 minutes of time tops.
