These stainless steel plates are designed to repair and upgrade damaged upper side tab attachment holes for the OEM Mazda RX8 front bumper. This is designed not only to repair the damaged tabs on the front bumper upper section tabs, but to address the common issue of the bumper 'hanging out'. This issue may be caused from the tabs not hooking onto the plastic retainer hooks. This improved design features an added metal tab on the plates to act as a 'hook' which helps the bumper tabs hook onto the retainers to improve the connection. To install, simply sand down & clean surfaces on the damaged bumper tabs and the repair plates. Take time to sand down the plastic tabs well (about 1mm) so that the repair plates do not increase the thickness of the tabs too much so that it may be too hard to push the side of the bumper in. Then simply glue the plates on the bottom side of the bumper tabs. Apply evenly spread pressure with clamps whilst it’s drying. Recommended adhesive: JB Weld Plastic Bonder 25mL Black 50139 (sold separately).
