Yea it looks like one hole is unusable. Got it on in about an hr and 15 min. Apparently we had a shipping issue with the rear but the front is...well...

Stunning

They sent me the wrong one. I needed the sensor cutouts. This one...not. It's the Dimple-R

Ohhh. Im sorry too early for me I guess I knew that. The right one is coming at you soon I was just talking to the production manager about this. Pete will call you later today to bring you up to speed on everything!

Yes he's working on it. Don't beat yourself up over it. Sh#t happens. Just to throw this out there....

Your web site lists an authorized ADD dealer in North Jacksonville...maybe they'd take this one as inventory to save the return freight hassle? Just a thought.

Concerning the skirting on the driver side and not on the passenger. Yeah I noticed the same thing on mine. On the passenger side, I folded up the excess and tucked it into a pocket. The driver side, I poked a small hole in it and used a ziptie to put it in place and out of the way but still closing the gap into the wheel well. No idea why they don't have the same setup for the passenger side. I don't have the ADD bumper but can relate to what you saw too

I think maybe the reason its only on the left side is to act as a splash guard for the air box snorkel.

Should be only 6 1/2'' 1''.5 bolts and 12 washers. On the Stealth can only fit 3 on each horn.

I was able to get 4 bolts per frame horn. Had 8 bolts when I got it and I put them all on. I installed it by myself and just had to make minor adjustments with the holes I drilled to get the bumper lined up.

Recently we made a change for the Stealth only and have been sending 6 bolts because people were having trouble fitting the other 2 on their own. We are confident the bumper will be on with more than enough strength with the 6 bolts. But by all means put another two in there with the extra work. Our goal in this change was to make it an easy, quick install for those doing it in their driveway or garage.

I don't really don't see an issue with the bolts given that the factory unit only used 2 per side. That said it does appear that the 4th hole is useable but would require the bolt to go in from the rear of the horn, likely need shortening, and require a flatter nut. It's quite solid as is though.

Got a better pic today. Love this thing
