I tried fitting the bumper to mark holes, so I DIY the most I can so my bank account doesn't get raped.

BUT.. this bumper does not fit what-so-ever.. it flares out past the fenders about 3-4 inches on both sides. I bend it to fit and the front gets all warped. (which is expected) but I did not expect this bumper to be so fukin out of wack! I hope the body shop doesnt rape me cuz this thing doesnt fit.

The sideskirts also don't fit at all.. I kind of expected that, being fiberglass and such.

has anyone else had these problems this bad?

not i, but since you have a good camera obviously, can you take a pic of where you have the car resting on the jack stands?

did you attach the bumper to the fender well? on the bottom of the bumper near the wheel, it should be brought in. You should be able to use bolts to hold it together. Are you sure those arent fiberglass? given fiberglass usually doesnt come in black unless primed, i figured I'd ask anyway.

The bumper is duraflex, it bends quite abit.. I was told to bolt the top/front of the bumper on then use heat and bent it to bolt to the fenders. I think I will let the shop take care of it though. The skirts are f/g tho, primered black.


Shiano: I'll have that pic up sometime later.

thanks scott  ;D

I'm always iffy about where to actually place stands, let alone a jack. One reason i prefer ramps, but sometimes, you have to have the freedom that stands provide.

here you go Shiano. It just behind the tire.

Duraflex is a combination of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins. It will still break, just not as easy as traditional fiberglass.

where the 2 bolts are?

I place it right on the lip... where the two notches are in that lip is presumeably for a lift i'm guessing.. well thats where I put the stand..

I should of gotten a pic when it was on the stand i guess. :D

lol. if i remember, i'll take a pic of what mine looks like from having to change my oil with no ramps, only a jack, and have it up tomorrow.

If you can get your car on ramps.... son you need a drop  :D ;D ;D :D  just playing, but seriously  :-\

And to Gr8, if that bumper is really sticking out 3-4inches and you want it to sit flush, best thing (and bitchy) is to actually cut the that excess material and epoxy + fiberglass it from the back (the two cut pieces).  Once you get it together, body shop or you can just do some bondo work outside of it to look good.
But again, it all depends on if you really care about looks, spending some time... or just let it be like it is.

you're better off putting the jack stands on this metal plate under the car in the pic below. don't put it on the actual control arm or where it bolts on itself but behind it. theres flat areas that you can't see in this pic that work great. that plate is far far stronger than the thin pinch weld that they recommend you put the jack at. especially on older cars that might have a little rust going on. dunno why paint made the pic shrink but you can still see

Thanks. So it's the circle plate around the control arm right?

That's the spot I always put mine at.  ;)
