    Heyd I’m installing the c4 low pro front bumper today and noticed that I have an extra set of brackets that aren’t shown in any of the install videos. Did anyone else receive these? Where do they go

    Just a guess. I have the Victory version of that bumper and those might be what ties the C4 bumper to the plastic bumper on the bottom on each side. Kind of like little extensions or. wings connecting the two for stabilisation, Maybe?? Just a guess,Like I said.

    Strange C4 doesn’t even show them with the supplied parts in their install video

    Yeah that’s what I thought too lol. Maybe it’s a new part they added recently. I emailed them but won’t get a reply until Monday

    Just did the install, no idea what they are for. Maybe for their viper cut.

    Looking at the pic and drinking about it, they look like shims to sandwich between the frame and bumper. It would push the bumper out about an 1/8". Might help getting the cover on, but would leave a gap on the 4th/ inside bolt. Would have given me an 1/8" more room to run the winch power cables and intercooler line.

    they go between the Slimline bumper and the attachment point on the vehicle frame where you run the three bolts through almost like a little spacer

    I think they might just include them with the lopro bumper because maybe they go woth the viper cut wings? Not sure. Just making a guess.

    I have these pieces too and did not use them.

    There was a reason i didn't go SSO... Besides the ungodly tall bullbar. What that reason was, i don't recall.

    tall bull bar is to clear the TSS sensor if you have one. If you dont you can run a mid or no bar set up. Love mine!

    Just like that image shows they are thick washers and very important to keep the bumper bolts happy otherwise the thru holes are too sloppy.
