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.

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.

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. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1045x596.

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 |

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..... |
