I've got an AMB transponder and run a manic front bumper.

I have drilled out an transponder size hole in the bumper
It fits in there nicely and the bumper is bolted to the chassis so protects it.

do you have 4 bolts on the bumper as i only used 2 on mine and it sheared the bolt on a fast track exit, so dont trust if you only have 2!

If you look at the piccy I posted = 4 x bolts.

In fact I have bent a chassis using the bumper like this
So she does not move.
