Vararam install issue
Anyone else have problems with the VR-B2? Left side went OK but the right top screw is no where close. The air scoop hits the bumper before the screw can reach. Even the left side where the screws are in I can't tighten them without buckling the bumper with the inside scoop.

You shouldn't need to even use those screws as the ducts are held in place naturally. If it bothers you, you can cut some tubing to use as spacers, along with longer screws.

I 1st tried the OEM screws (I think they were 3/4" long) - no spacers. Didn't fit worth a $$$$. I then tried 1-1/4" screws (with 1/4" spacers between the scoop and bumper) and only on the inside tabs. On my 2003 that seemed to be the best fit.
