Chiney, do you have the template for the AP2 taillights? I need to cut the holes out of my AP1, and the taillights didnt come with gaskets so I have to order them to. Let me know if you have the template, I can pay you for it.

mark off the the area that needs to be trimmed. I like to use painters tape because it doesn't leave residue behind and its easy to remove. also gives you a line to follow.

cut it out. I use an angle grinder with shield when cutting the plastic can get very hot

drill a hole where your new "tab, rivet, screw will be"

now this is the important part. your gonna want to remove the bumper from the metal when drilling through the metal. it will give yu room to work with and you will need to angle the drill inward away from the exterior of the body

now I chose to use a zip tie.

reason. with a zip tie the more you tighten it. the closer it pull in. this gives you adjustability to line that bumper up just right

What i don't get from that how to, where is the reasoning behind relocating the bolt if where the original spot of the bumper tab does not get trimmed? according to that how to, they just trimmed the edge of the bumper, what am i missing here?

i too was under the impression that the original bumper tab location is trimmed, hence it being relocated further back by a few inches
