#2, There were a few areas that needed more clearancing. The area behind the driving light sockets interferes with the large Aluminum bar behind the bumper. And the bottom on the bumper where the plastic rivets are used to secure it t the oem factory locations.
Hey I noticed this problem too. The easiest way around it and to get more clearance, is to remove the styra-foam white piece between the bumper and the Aluminum bar. It will allow for more play. I know it should probably stay, but its not going to matter much if you hit something anyway. Maybe at low speeds, but the bumper is flexible anyway, so at worst, you would have to repaint it. It will also close up the gap between the hood more and allow to push it back more to the fender. It will help close up the area around the side markers too. Good luck!
