What is this bumper tab relocation s2k owners have to do in order to fit decent sizing on the rear???
I saw worded descriptions.. but does anyone have a picture of what needs to be done?
Just wondering if you cut the bumper tab off or something..

Here is a little mini explanation I made for another member on relocating bumper tabs and shaving fenders.
First off, you would be wise to do both- roll your fender and relocate the tab. Its easy. First, unscrew the screw and save it for use a bit later. Next dremmel or cut out the tab. I actually went ahead and cut out more of the material so that I would have even more room for wheel and tire. This is a good idea, because the more room you have, the better. And you would probably be surprised at how little can make such a big deal.
Next, you drill a small hole in a similar location about five inches towards the rear of the car. Just draw a line with your mind of the wheel/tire travel, and make sure the new location is out of the way. After drilling a small hole, go ahead and use you old screw in the new location. Again, I recommend rolling the fender, relocating the tab and screw, and maybe even cutting some of the material out of there too.
I would recommend this before anything else as it is easy and cheaply done.

It was an issue on MY04' , I just got done relocating them a couple weeks ago.
Once you pull off the rear wheel you'll know exactly what we're talking about in this thread. Its a pretty simple procedure.
Like Sinji said, you just move the bolt hole back along the lip a couple inches and then grind away the portion where the original hole is.
