OK, finally figured out how to get out of my apartment without scraping, what a pain.....lol

But on a good note the back piece brackets on the 5 Axis kit are readily available at Home Depot. It is in the hardware aisle, go to the truss materials area and look for the L brackets,there is one that has a smaller size side and two holes,and one with a longer side and a cut channel down
the middle, it is ribbed reinforced, cut a 1/2" hole about 3/4" in on the channel from the elbow and that will give you a mount hole. Use the stock bumper plugs, take them out, put the L bracket in between the stock bumper, the stock mount and put the plug back in,then use the hole in the bracket to run screw through to the new 5 Axis part,it was like it was made for this application,Troy and the guys did their homework and a great job.......rear tucks up perfectly and is very stable.

I know some are waiting for updated pictures of the brackets,please be patient......my best friend since I was 10 had his son hit by car on Sunday.....he is ok......but huge gaping gash to the leg and some other minor injuries......he turned in front of the car at 35mph and didi not see the car.......he is 13 and is doing ok,had helmet on.....but flew over car and landed into oncoming traffic and almost hit by another car........I will get brackets pictures up soon......sorry for delay but kids come first.....Brian

Is it me or the sides are too subtle that they almost look like stock.
I think I prefer the GFX sides.. Looks good tho!!
