you worry too much just buy it paint it and get the shop to install it any problem they come accross they'll fix it.
just let them know about it or buy the parts needed and they'll take care of it.body shops run into these problems all
the time easy fix.mine was put on with no issues or atleast nothing they can fix.just make sure they dont jerry rigg it.
good luck with the kit you'll love how it iam liking mine more and more everyday and to think i didnt even conside buying

At the shop now putting on the new bumper! Only thing they needed to do was take the pdc valves from the old bumper and put them on the new one the standard ones they cone with are to small for the bumper what's up with that

I had my front bumper painted one day then installed the next day. Now about 6 months later its starting to chip on the front, I don't know if its from the road or the curing time. I was going to have them install the bumper today but they said it would be best to have it dry fully and have it installed Monday or Tuesday of next week.

So I finally got the bumper on today, I will post pictures soon! it took a long time the pdc holes were way to small on the bumper so we had to cut them bigger and that took a while. also we needed to cut out some of the foam to get the bumper to sit right. other then that it looks great. My only question does anyone else have trouble getting the sides by the wheel wells to mathc up like the stock bumper they are a little off.
