Just bought an Evo IX front bumper basically BNIB from someone. it came with the push pins for the top but also came with 16 pins. what are these pins for? (the bumper did not come with the mesh grills)

 

photo of the pins?

 

prolly pins for the undertray?

 

Not sure about the front bumper, but the rear bumper mounting hardware uses pop rivets

 

under tray, under hood, wheel wells, ...extra ones?

 

some are deft for the fenderwells

 

these are the pins

 

Those look like rivets,

 

Those are for stabbing yourself in the eye after giving up on the plastic screw clips for the undertray.

try using these instead:

^The above is true, however to answer specifically what those pins are, they are the rivets used for mounting the black metal support brackets to the bumper (directly under where the headlights are and above the crash beam)

 

they are sharp enough to stab an eye out . the black clips i exactly knew where they went but now i see what those clips are for. thanks for the helf

 

those are rivots. Generally to get the bumper mounts / hardware on (metal brackets).

 

deft rivets my friend

 

are the metal support brackets needed 100%? will the bumper hold up ok without them?

 

yup, those are pop rivets.

Did you try contacting the seller?

 

i believe someone actually mentioned in the thread what their for...
