Default front mount fitment

how straight forward is it to fit a autobahn88 front mount to a blobeye wrx?
apart from the bumper is there any other cutting or relocating of items required and can the fog lights be refitted ok?

any advice appreciated

you need to also cut the bar that goes behind the bumper (the thick metal box)

I helped fit the kit to a classic, it was a pain in the royal backside

Thought about it for my newage but I dont like messy engine bays, honestly thinking of spending 3 times more on an APS kit. Still not to cut stuff but the under bonnet view is so much cleaner.

I fitted this to my Sti Ra and to be honest only took me 3-4 hrs to fit but it took me the whole of the next day to fit the bumper advice easy to fit but slowly slowly with cutting the bumper bit at a time and keep offering it up takes a long time but worth it in the end
