Link isn't working for me.
Yeah, ebay keeps blocking my account and deleting the listing (3 times already). Here is the newest one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235885480299
And please use this phrase in the search if the link got broken again:
"Mustang 2015-2017 front bumper tabs / reinforcement mounts / repair kit”

Got my tabs in today. THANKS!

What epoxy did you use? Is that JB weld in your pic?

I haven't even pulled my bumper yet...just anticipating breaking the tab.

Unfortunately I can’t suggest anything because I left this work to a local workshop that repairs bumpers. It’s for sure some epoxy but I don’t know which one

JB plastic weld, I think is the name. RTV would probably work if you made sure it was cured before you reinstalled it.

The secret sauce to getting these to work is jb weld plastic bonder.
Also you need to apply adhesion promoter to the bumper first before trying to apply the glue.

I ordered a set. I'll give them a shot as I broke the passenger side when upgrading the heat exchanger. I just have the zip tie hack in place for now.

Do you have to completely remove the bumper to install these ?

No. You can pull the bumper out far enough to do it. That said it is easier if you do remove it.

Yeah, as K4fxd mentioned the bumper may remain on the car. You would need to take off the wheels and detach the fender liner from the front side to have enough space. Also plz pay attention to alignment when you glue the tabs, so it should be easy/comfortable to fit & adjust it and see if the alignment is good before the epoxy has cured

Just noticed my bumper tab was completely missing on the right side. Found this thread and just ordered a set. Hoping that'll fix everything :please:
