Jumped in on the bumper and had a few notes worth sharing simply because I couldn't find any of this out there on the internet already. This was installed on a 2016 2SS.

-- The DRLs that came with the bumper were utter trash. Once installed, they pulsed like crazy and would sometimes eventually stop after the car was running for a while. I think this is because they don't include ballasts. IKON support was non existent. I ordered a set of OEM DRLs and the problem immediately resolved.

-- On test fitment, the bumper looked like it was *not* going to fit properly. After some adjustment, things looked better. Once everything was painted and fully installed, the bumper fit significantly better.

-- The OEM upper grill will fit perfectly so you can retain the Glowtie, if you are using it. You can also use the OEM upper grill to retain a bowtie. The IKON upper grill does not include any way to mount a bowtie.

I included a few shots so you can see the angles and how things line up.
