Well....at least that's the case with the sixers because of the curvature of the from bumper. So I'll probably just end up waiting and spending the extra few bucks on the gt bumper and go from there. Is it possible for a novice like me to swap out the bumper covers myself?
I did it myself and it wasn't too bad. Had to switch out the wheel well splash guards to a GT splash guard. The front was easy. Unbolt old one and take out side markers. Pop in side markers on new one and bolt on new bumper.


Here is a pic w/ it taken apart.

or just do what Mellowyellow did and zip tie the bracket where the rivets would be, then the bolts will hold it on once bolted up like you said.

Won't try to talk you out of your opinion, you're entitled to it, so it's not wrong.
My opinion differs though.
