T2 Port Install - PIC HEAVY
 

Ive been wanted to install t2 ports since I bought my camaro. Ive been searching everywhere for a good write up or at least some decent pics of this installation and I never could find anything that helped at all. So, heres a good one for you guys to see and hopefully help someone else with their install.

It was a very easy install with one of my buddies helping me out, until I had to sandwich the inner ring and the ports together. I had 6 large clamps and it was still very very hard. So, I epoxied the port in, let it sit for 2 hours clamped, and once that hardened a bit, then I epoxied the inner ring on the inside of the bumper. Then let site overnight, and it looks amazing.

Very nice! How long did it take from start to finish?

Looks like you did a great job Austin, also a very good photo shoot to help others take the leap!:thumbsup:

8 hours with my buddy helping, then I let it dry/cure over night. But, Now that I know where to clamp everything correctly. I could do it in probably 4.

Cool, Thank you.

Hope you glued it from the Inside only...:popcorn:

And Yes you did a great job...Looking real good...:thumbsup:

i want these, but not for $400 plus shipping.

btw, great job

what do u mean.


Also what dremmel tool did u use , aside from that, and what did u cut on the inside? does it fit ok when placing bumpers back?

The proper way to Glue this together is you put the glue/epoxy on the insert(inner) only & not on the front(outer).

That is correct, there should not be any adhesive on the outside. Adhesive is used to bond the inner ring to the inner surface of the port and NOT the bumper.

Looks good, the beauty of it is, it doesnt matter how bad you are a cutting (to an extent) his line was nasty as hell and mine would be as well, but the edges cover it up!

Good install, People will just have to choose between ports or a ZL1 bumper

damn, good job

Yes I only glued from the inside. The glue would have squeezed out if any was around the port lip. And that would have been bad.

That looks amazing, I might get this soon.

BTW, start using eye protection when cutting, it only takes 1 time to Fup your eyes.....

did the ports come with the glue? if not, what kind did you use?
