Help with installing fiberglass bumpers

[Intercooler]

Hopefully I will be bolting these babies and the aluminum brackets on next weekend! I have the lights in front figured out but am a little on the piece that goes from the front bumper to reinforcement in that area. It bolts the two together with five bolts. Is it needed now? Also, should I use the metal spacer plates between the bumpers and the brackets like factory? Any other pointers?

I didn't use the metal reinforcements when I installed mine. They're not gonna make that much of a difference in case of an accident anyway. As for the shims, you're gonna have to go by the way the bumper fits. On mine, I have shims in the back, but none in the front. HTH!
