2017 LC Bumpers tht work with radar, etc.

[brasskey]

Any long term user feedback on the "no-cut" version of this bumper? I bought it few years go for my 2021, but never got around to installing it (long story).

I wonder if due to the frame movement there is a risk of metal to metal contact. The cut version might be better in that regard even if it looks less integrated.

I had one on my previous 2016 and have had one on my current 2018 for about 5 years. No issues at all with either. Live in Colorado and go on plenty of rough roads all year. If you follow the instructions and maintain the suggested gap between fender (if I remember correctly, it's a minimum of 20mm), everything should be fine. If there was an issue, I think you'd see it mentioned online as there's plenty of them installed on this forum and a ton installed in Australia. But, if you're worried, don't install or get a cut version.

Appreciate the info! I figured if it was an issue somebody would post, but good to ask about a long term experience. I plan on installing mine, it was the whole point of getting "no-cut" version to not mess with cutting the OEM skin. Also looks better.
