Anyone got links to the ACS? I was hoping for a free fix, I guess now I can justify ACS or m-tech.

Phil did you try taking it to a good body shop to let them figure it out? If you need to replace it in order for it to not hang anymore, I've got the old bumper from my car.

Phil, look at the gap between the bumper and the fenders in the wheel opening. When I caught my bumper as you did it opened this gap.

There was a recent thread about this.

+1, shave the bottom straight, re-level your center grille, and if its bent, try to see if you could insert some sort of metal brace into the back of the middle bar, in the grille.

I'm probably gonna go with ACS, now one question, is it the whole bumper or is it just the lower portion that is the ACS. Anyone got a pic of the whole thing unpainted? And can I put my fog lights in it.

And YES, you can use your lights that you currently have on your car, that is if they are stock fog lights. GL!
