Looking good, just need that splitter on. Start with on corner, then do the opposite corner. Put a screw driver through the further most hole to keep it in place. Then start working towards the middle. For the center, I had to place the bumper face down on a mat and press down from the inside.

Splitter has been a $$#%$@ to attach
I'll keep that in mind. None of my inserts are in all the way but I can no longer go any further with them either. I get the design but I would have done snap ins at corners and aligator clips on centers.

I had alot of issues with the large grille. I had to use a scissors and clip of most of the tabs until they could drop in. Even then, it's not a perfect snap. The splitter was easier that the grill for me, not saying much though...

Tomorrow is the day I attempt to build the bellypan.
Also have to fix the alignment of the bumper.

Thanks to some friends I have successfully got switchbacks, and and fogs working without pulsating. I had to tap into ignition fuse again as opposed to fogs like the DRL brows. We even managed to keep the bumper harness as one connection. That includes routing the switchback wires. Engine side of the harness remained stock.

I used a heat gun to make the clips softer to slide in .. also..word of caution with the belly plate they supply you or if you decide to make one. if you make the holes a little off its going to pull pressure on your bottom chin and pop it loose... You will see a gap on the chin and bumper cover... My suggestion put all the bolts in loosely and little by little snug them up.

Mines off to painters tomorrow.

Today was first day driving with it on bar the one ride home last night after finishing installation. I'm not 100% happy with the fitment but even then I am satisfied with it overall.

Customer service absolute 0 from Ikon F-

Quality A- ( would be better if they supplied bellypan and slightly better clips.


I painted the washer bottle and crashbar black it was wise.

The 6th gen headlights were a pain but so worth it they complete the look.

Vland gets A- on quality and Customer Service

The front end is similar.

So is it worth all the trouble to get the conversion kit after all? I’m still thinking myself on getting it

You think it would be better to get the 10/13 bumper from them? Or just get the 14/15 one they have?

I still need to buy the lights & harnesses unless ikon sells one with both lights and harness, then I still would need to get the hood too and the fog lights.

10-13 and 14-15 are the same the only thing that is different is 10-13 is packaged with lights and not 6th gen.
