it may be possible that mine is an isolated case and for some reason or another i'm running into interference from various pts. on the car. my car has never been in any type of accident before (knock on wood), original owner. if the car had rear-end damage then it might be possible that things may not be in perfect alignment and what not, but that's not the case here.
i grinded down the corner where it's hitting the bumper, i didn't grind it enough, but if i do, it appears that it should sit flush and therefore eliminate the problem of hitting the strap. still have to get a larger bolt and tap the hole. once that's done and if everything lines up, i'll drill 2 new holes on the bar bracket.
no installation tips b/c if everything lines up correctly it's pretty straightforward. again, mine just might be an isolated case. hopefully someone else who ordered these might try installing them and post how it went. didn't get a chance to install the FLB yet...
