Thanks RF3777, we are both from Hong Kong.

And bro, I just found that the rear bumper is thicker at the cross member positions (i.e. the corner where the handles should be installed). Is that I need longer bolts? Otherwise how to secure the bolts? Thanks

The lock nuts is in between the crossmember, its hard to put the lock nuts in there!
What grab handle you got?

that might be a good idea, I steal a pic from a member here...
This grab handle has a different bolt hole that clear the corner bolt from the crossmember, also see a spacer in between!

Able to put them on today, that 4 conner bolts hold a piece of metal plate in between the crossmember, I took out 2 of them, keep other 2 on, that was really PITA to put on the grab handle, since the 2 inner bolts were somewhat block behide!
But I have small hand...spending sometime and done it!

Correction: should be this one.

no model number, you can measure from the crossmember to get the exact length you need, remember the bolt can not pass to the back side of the crossmember! so they dont need really long.

Looking at your picture, what is this thing in the utmost right lower corner of the crossmember, with the wire attached ?
May be some sort of parking sensor? Cheers, Vincent
