I had that same problem with the billet aluminum splitter I put on the front of mine to protect the front lip. As the splitter is strong enough and won't bend or flex, the nose piece absorbs the impact causing the top part of the nose piece to pull away from where it joins the hood and fenders. I asked in a thread about 2 months ago if the protectors/splitters could be designed with slots instead of just holes where the protecter is attached to the bottom of the nose piece. That way the slots would allow the protector to be pushed backward some and absorb the shock of hitting a parking block or curb without affecting the nose piece itself. One would then just re-adjust the protector as needed.

 

Well when u make up ones with slots let me know if u can offer me a special deal on it as i had your product for 3 days and now its twisted, ugly, and discarded after one unlucky blow!

 

rossmon1,

I think we can give you a special deal when the first ones are made

We will let you know when the first ones are ready.

The other idea that occurred to me was should the bolts be replaced with knockoff plastic fasteners? Afterall the original bolts may protrude about a 1/4 inch but other than that they don't have the additional job of attaching something that is hanging out there to be wacked.
