really? the stingers are laser cut and built from the same jig everytime. You simply bolt the 8 bolts to the front of the bumper and drill out the top holes. We have installed hundreds and never have had fitment issues

EVO front bumpers are made out of 1/4" steel and has the highest clearance on the market.

Why do you have to drill out holes?

The bumper can be ran without a stinger.

If we made the bumper with holes on the top predrilled the people without stingers would have holes showing. The stinger is made to be as strong as it can be in the event of a roll over. Its primary function is to protect the radiator and engine compartment.

Just to be clear for the OP cause it confused me at first when I was looking

You have to order the 1/4 pounder bumper itself and the stinger bolts to that correct? and the stinger piece is separate?

By the way is there a reason you dont offer this with fogs? Didnt know if maybe it compromises something in the design

Thanks

UPDATE**
nevermind I saw you mentioned to order both the bumper and stinger. sorry
