I have had trouble with the front bumper braking the 3 lower plastic push rivets (the ones under the car, covered by the access panel) at high speeds. I have a GTM supercharger installed and the right side inner fender fit is poor. I can only get the outer pop rivet in. Also I did not install the foam brace in front of the crash bar. Turbo guys don't even have a crash bar and the extra airflow real helps.

Any time I pass someone at 90-100MPH the rivets brake and the front start bouncing up and down.

I have to stop and put in fresh rivets.

I have though about 1/4 inch self tapping screws.

Anyone else had any having problems?

This dose show that the front generates down force at speeds.
