So I got some bumper plugs from HTG and when I went to install them I couldn't get one of em in. The bracket behind the bumper skin seems to be loose. Any suggestions (aside from taking off my bumper) to get this other one on? I look foolish driving around with only one.

 

That is the same thing that happened to me. I could get one and the other one was loose and laying within the bumper. Bottom line for me i took about 10mins out of my day and took the bumper off and put the other plug on...

 

Damn, I'm not really feelin that option right now. It'll have to be done on a weekend if I go that route. Maybe I'll just keep messin around with it. Thanks

 

What else should I do while the bumper is off?

 

If the plugs on the inside of the bumper haven't fallen in try this. I took a pair of pliers and lightly squeezed the ends of the plugs before I tried to put them in. Dont crush them just give it a pinch.

Worked well for me.

Just one of the brackets is loose. I got the other one in just fine lol

 

Taking off the bumper is not terribly difficult...it takes about 30 minutes by the time you take it off and put it back on.

 

Eeek. I just noticed how disgusting my calipers look...add that to list of shit I want to get done eventually

 

I love paintin' the calipers...the S, Anna's Accord and my VW Passat all have painted calipers. Nasty, stock-looking calipers FTL!!
