Have you guys found that the front and rear clips are just a bit too wide ? I.e. the bumper part of the clips don't really line up with the bumper part on the body.

Just wondering.

Those kits are pretty much straight reissues of the Monogram kit so it should be the same. There is a problem with the fit of the rear bumper on the 2+2.

Yep, thanks. I had to "spread" the fenders a tad so that the front and rear clips fit flush with the body -- this helped and the fit is pretty good.

I didn't hear about the 2+2 -- what's the issue there ?

There is a small gap between the body and the bumper piece that will need to be filled for the bumper to fit correctly.

There are three “fixes” for the 2+2 rear bumper that I know of

Cut up a Grand Prix front bumper to make filler pieces.

Jim from Salvino’s offers a 3D printed filler option.

Adamthewayne makes a really nice resin rear bumper that deletes the bumper guards and fits like a kit part.
