here's the update

Picked up the bumper from DHL this morning and dropped it off at the body shop.

I only saw the bumper for bout 5min before the guy took it away. Fitment looks alright. i would say 8/10, everything look perfect except for that fact that none of the hole were cut out. ie, the tow hook, and both of the sidemarkers. the hole for the actual side markers is there but the hole for the clips still needs to be cut.

didnt have time to take pics cause i was in a hurry

Ryan,
yeah i'm having the bodyshop install it. since they painted the whole car, it made sense to have them do it. plus i dont have to worry screwing stuff up.

why did you srew something up?

Shermie
it is def a DIYer, its not that bad. just make sure the bodyshop cuts out all the holes that have to be cut.

here's what i'm talking bout, these are RavenR's pics, but mine looks the same.

No, but the bumper doens't fit 100% under the headlights. So my bumper looks more and more like crap everyday. It's really bothering me. I wish I could have left my car at the body shop so they could guarentee 100% fitment, but it's my only form of transportation.
