Hey guys I got a kaminari body kit painted and I am having a problem on the fitment. Everything fits as good as everyone said it would but I'm having a problem with the bumpers cliping into the side clips on the fenders. When I push them in the go in but they don't clip at all. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you fix this?
Thanks

 

they might need to be trimmed some. compare the mounting points on the kaminari to the factory bumper cover.

 

yeah i got a kami kit aswell wit same issues... the kami kit clips are thicker... the stock clips dont fit inside very well... if anyone has a way to cure this id love to know

 

bump anyone else have any info about this. The kit and the OEM bumpers look pretty dang close

 

mine pops out all the time. I just re-pop them in when I go to shows. I've never been able to get them to stay in place. As soon as I start to drive, they both pop out. Also a bunch of others I have talked to have the same issues.

 

i have had issues on mine and actually talked to Steve from Kaminari
he is doing a write up on this today and is aware of this post

 

So whats the mean for us? Just curious

 

maybe you could shave it down a bit or find another way to fasten it.

 

Great awsome cant wait to see the write up glad to see they are taking steps to fix this

 

once i get the write up on it i will post

 

ya id like to know too lol.... keep me posted plzzz =)

why? its not a cheap kit and it is made very well... but id like it to fit without having to 'shave it down'... imho ....

 

^agreed

 

So what does steve have to say about this?

 

this^^^

 

I have had my kit on (the full kit including CF Hood and Wing) for almost 2 years now, and i have this issue as well....

Mainly on my rear passenger side. It sticks out, and the points bend outward!!! ARG! I have tried to get these back in, but no go...

Got to find a way to make it stay..

I would love and update ASAP, on how to get it to stay in.

 

yup I would like to fix mine to i dont think I have one corner that is all the way cliped in they all they are all just about out. Im afraid to take the car on long trips now due to I dont know if the bumpers will stay on

 

Anyone ever compared the weight of these bumpers vs. stock ones. Maybe the stock clips need to be upgraded because the kami bumpers are heavier than stock ones. Just a thought.

 

yep yep... exact same thing here.. i only have 2 corners that fit decent.. the other 2 corners are horrible!!

 

any new info on this

 

I will have the write-up done soon, the problem is not hard to address, the clips Toyota used on these bumpers are finicky at best. Combine that with a lot of body shops breaking the clips while removing the OEM bumper and not paying attention to alignment on reassembly, and this is what happens. I will have fixes for everyone ASAP!

@ Need4Bass05:

Weight is no the issue, our bumper is made of the same type of material with similar thickness as OEM...
