I received my front bumper from Dissent today. Unfortunately, they don’t have their instruction finished yet……. Has anyone else installed one? The bumper assembly and installation looks straight forward and simple. The part I was hoping for clear direction on is where EXACTLY to cut the front clip apart. I can’t stand seeing vehicles with bumpers installed that don’t line up perfectly. It screams pour construction or half-ass installation! If you’ve done this install and have any insight please let me know. If you had someone else install this bumper and it looks great and you don’t mind taking some measurements for me that would also be great. Thanks!
 
I had the same issue with my JW Offroad bumper - received the product (after a long wait) but they didn't have any instructions available. Funny how they can fab up a custom bumper, then when finalized they get the various pieces pre-cut, weld up the bumpers for retail sale, get them powder coated, get them shipped, but they can't write down some simple instructions.

At least I didn't have to cut anything but the inner fender liner. If I was cutting up the front plastic cover pieces, I'd want clear instructions for sure.

They posted an install video on their YouTube channel. I’m hoping the link I posted works.

Got the install done. It is time consuming, but pretty simple. Made the cut line 3 times before I liked it. The only thing I’m not happy with is the weather strip transition at the fender flare. The flare is thick and it’s hard to make the transition look good. I ended up two piecing it, but I do t like that either….
 
Feb 1st or so. I can't believe that a company can make us wait that long for a fabricated piece of steel.
