Thought that these were a good idea to bolt stuff down? I swear they must have been drunk and need a swift kick in the nuts.

Just FYI these are the bolts that hold the cover onto the back of the bumper or the “euro” air dam. The bolts and the combination they use to tighten are terrible. I have had a bunch of them just tear out

I agree. Should've been rivnuts...
I don’t know if it’s just mine but the bolts for it don’t even thread into them correctly. They are like a super fine pitch and mine just bind all up like crazy. I noticed how hard they were to get out the first time. This second time a bunch decided to just give out.

They want you to throw that euro-weenie aerodynamic shit in the rubbish can where it belongs.
Well I hacked it apart but I still use the cover portion and that’s the part where all of the bolts are. I may eventually rip all of those crappy things out and do push clips or something instead.

The extra inner fender pieces that just hang out from under the top fender piece is worse. It's like they just didn't even bother trying to finish it.

Yeah, I hate those things. I have replace a few with clip nuts. I actually kind of like my Sport S bumper styling and have been holding on to it until I absolutely need a winch for trail riding. Had to do some clearancing for 35s but I think it turned out well and is light
