I'm amazed at the quality of these bumpers, as I have the same as yours (and color too). I did my install myself and it fit like a glove. Didn't have to carve/trim foam padding like some have. Congrats, looks much better now.

Ok.. noticed something strange. While driving the car.. I noticed that the temp gauge was reading 92 degrees, and rising.. got up to 98 degrees after driving the car for 10 mins.. and the outside temp was about 80. What could be causing this?

Check your temp probe. Must be a bad connection when they put it back. It's mounted on the inside of the bumper on the lower lip, should be visible just behind the lower mesh pointing up.
