i agree. put the end caps back on. they are very easy to trim with a sawzall or similar tool to follow the sight lines of the new bumper profile.

That's the plan. I saw one with the trimmed end caps and plinth added and it looked pretty good to my surprise. The additional front end approach angle increase is huge. I'll post pics once its all assembled and back on.

I have neither unfortunately. I'll drop the end caps off at a body shop and have them do it.
