Not sure if I mentioned that all popits and bolts touching fiberglass now have rubber washers to protect the glass. Varying sizes for each location.
Oh, and the saga continues. Below are the best pics I could get attempting to show the clear bra I had installed. If you look very closely you can see the seam of where the clear bra ends and the bare paint is. All exposed vertical and horizontal surfaces are covered. After spending all this time and money getting the bumper to where it needed to be, I didn't want it to just end up with a big rock chip in it, so it now having become an investment, so to speak, I needed to protect my investment. lol
Further, I wasn't surprised to learn that an uber-rare JDM bumper wasn't on the list of thousands of pre-programmed cuts in the computer at the clear bra place, so lucky for me they had to do it completely custom to the tune of $450!

Side note: Albero sent two of the upper (smaller) size mesh pieces and trying to go back through Japan channels to get the right one proved more difficult than sourcing another one stateside. After tons of searching, I ended up getting a tighter mesh for the bottom opening (if you look closely at above pics u can see they're slightly different) so you couldn't see into the bottom opening very well since I don't like FMIC lag and prefer to stay top mount and inside there is ugly.
Might as well total this up for you fellas...
