That black bar is the factory rear bumper mount (well it looks like that on the JDM ludes at least). Its 4 bolts that hold it to the chassy. I chose to remove that bracket and then to rivet the custom frame to the bracket. Made for a sturdy bumper!Bludge wrote:Well the main problem is where it sits under the boot lid. it sits fine under the lights and lines up along the sides of the car and the arches as you can see on the pictures, but what you cant see is under the bootlid where it would secure, it about half an inch or so gap. looking closer at @H22A Lude's photo, it looks like he has some sort of adaptor attached? the black bar along the top?
Actually, these may help you out (had to go way back to trace these- 2010.lol):
