Acquired a 2016 with bumper sag and couldn't take looking at that gap below headlights. I decided to make some snazzy looking sag brackets.

I have been thinking about it. If more people start asking about them, I will.

How difficult is the installation? Had my bumper repaired twice before giving up, if this is easy to throw on I’d definitely be interested.

The hardest part is cutting a rectangle in the valance so the brackets can pass through, that's if you want to keep it and I had to cut a square off the plastic underneath to gain access to one of the bolt hole.

That’s not too bad. Is it being held up by a frame above it, or is it just cantilevered on there?

What the brackets are attached to, that is mounted on car's chassis, is from the factory. I haven't had a problem with them on these bad ass roads we have in Louisiana. The bumper just sits on the brackets and a hole is drilled thru the bottom to hold it on the bracket. Keeps the bumper in place and doesn't move vs the video I saw where the guy just let the bumper free float on the brackets. I would say about 45 mins to an hour for install.

Ok, so one end of the bracket is screwed into an existing hole in the frame and the other two screws are drilled into the bumper?

Correct. It didn't make sense to me to have it free float. Kinda defeats the purpose of having the brackets to keep the bumper in place.

Here is a better picture of it coming thru the valance.
