Front filler piece?

[doug294]

Hey I've heard a lot of people say they are shaving their front filler piece. What does this mean? A guy backed into my car and it dented up my front filler piece. If I shave it will it fix that? Does anyone have one they are willing to part out with? Thanks, Doug

hmm...most kits get rid of the front filler piece..that's shaving it otherwise, there's nothing to shave....its possible to 'mold' it into the front bumper..but that's about it..

How do I know if my kit gets rid of it? I am getting the invader/vader front bumper, do you know if it gets rid of it?

...look at the pic...ifi it has 'dips' for the headlights, it does....most do..but alot of the knockoffs and cheap copies...I even talked to someone at a show once who told me that his 'ww' (obvously wasnt ww) rear bumper still used the stock rear filler piece! haha...so watch out

The VIS invader bumper?

If so, then yes it will get rid of the filler piece.

Only the true brand names will have that piece molded into the bumper. Like VIS, Ground Designs, WW. ect. ect.
The cheaper fiberglass kits mount under that piece. It isnt always bad, sometimes you can get it to fit better than the more expensive bumpers.
