hey guys, just had the bumper installed today! Many thanks to Joe and Nerwyll @ Trinity for the part.

Paint job looks good, the install was decent. I wanted to share some pics, I'll really see how well the paint job turned out in the day and after I wash the car.

I did get the bulging problem underneath the front lip. I know other members have seen this problem. How do I fix this? One more thing, the front part next one of the ovals sticks out past where the hood meets. All of these aren't noticeable to the untrained eye. Other than that I'm finally glad to have this mod.

Help me figure out how to fix this I know the guys at the shop were struggling with it, hope this is something I can fix myself...

i think the bulge would prevent the lip from even fitting. i was thinking the same too, but i wanna get rid of this eye sore first.
