Pics wont be posted until I have it installed, since it is still a secret/surprise 
The guy I bought it from told me that fitment was perfect, so I wasnt worried. Max and I spent a long time tonight uninstalling my stock bumper, installing the mesh into my new bumper, and a lot of blood, sweat & tears (ok just a lot of grease, dirt, and sweat, but whatever).
The top panel above the grille where the pushpins go underneath the hood.. there are no holes in the bumper to put the pushpins. We were thinking about drilling holes, but the hood wouldnt even close so we didn't even bother trying... I will take it to the body shop sometime next week when I get back into town and I'm just going to pay them to fit it properly. My tiny little hands hurt from all the darn pulling and prying and screw drivering and socket wrenching that I am going to let someone else have the fun.
So needless to say I'm pretty disappointed because I wanted to have the bumper on for tomorrow's meet... but I guess yall are gonna have to wait to seeeeeee...

It's hard for me to explain... its the tabs at the verrrry top edge of the stock bumper, there's about 6 (maybe?) tabs that go along the top, right underneath where the hood closes. Those.
Basically, my aftermarket bumper doesn't have holes for the tabs to go into. I have no idea how the former owner had it installed on his car. Without those, the bumper was only hanging on by 4 screws tonight, the two inside each wheel well.
