A newer revision of the bumper beam has 3 holes for the studs on each side. If installing a newer revision, drill holes (x2) in the replacement part to accommodate for the extra studs. Do not drill holes if this repair is performed due to body damage and a new rear body panel has been installed. When installing a new rear body panel, the factory-installed bolts (x2) are not being replaced. See Rear Body Panel.
