Default nbs bumper pad

well today finally got around to my new bumper and stuff well anyway came down to putting my top pad on and had a hell of a time doing it. after about 30 mins of pissin and fighting with it broke haha, anyway how do you guys put yours on or was mine just not the right size. i had a hell of a time getting it to fit the bumper then the clips sucked to get in had to use a rubber hammer to get them in.

I put a little grease on the prongs/clips on the backside of the pad and used a rubber mallet to beat it on.

Factory or aftermarket pad ??

Had the one on my wifes tahoe and my Z71 off on on no probs. Just take your time and make sure the tabs line up.

It does take patience but can be done!
