Any other solution to the crash bar issue. I tried searching the forum and Sasha made mention of looking into it (and I PMed him), but I couldn't find any outcomes.

Thanks

I used a mix of hardware to space the factory tow bar out about 9mm and everything still fits fine.. Even the bumper reinforcement so the bumper won't sag.

Edit: I have a Gamma V3 TT kit, not a BP kit. Just throwing out an idea.

Do you have a picture of it with the bumper off?

My post was a little misleading... I don't have the BP Kit, I have a Gamma V3 TT kit. So YMMV.

I forgot to take pictures of the bar refitted.. but I did snap one pick of the threaded standoffs I used for the studs (since they weren't long enough with the spacers). It did require drilling two holes in the tow bar larger.

Thanks for the pic. I'll see if I can find someone who can fab up the oem bar.

I guess I missed this the first time around? You had to add 9mm of spacer to get the bumper beam back on?

I thought one of the major selling points of the MHI/Gamma V3 was that it fit out the box?

They provide 6mm spacers and the same hardware fits... for some reason I couldn't get my intercoolers in as much and I needed a few extra mm. Groovestyle didn't have that issue..

Ok. Such is the world of aftermarket parts.
