Holy chit, you're right...look at the side markers. That install just went from bad mistake to complete and utter failure. Didn't have a prayer of fitting and he tried to hack it on anyway? At what point during that operation does one stand back and say "I wonder if this is actually the right bumper?"

That said, a coupe bumper has been fitted to a sedan, with decent results...

^Yeah... but the entire front end was replaced.

BTW, I'm disappointed in all you guys guys before Blain posted that didn't notice that was a coupe bumper. I spotted it right off. Side marker position = dead give away.

Friends don't let friends install coupe bumpers on sedans. Sorry to say this OP but your friend's an idiot for even trying this.

Just a couple hours, not a bad drive considering I have friends down there. PM his contact info and we can go from there?

Also, the "friend" that bought the parts and did all of the mechanical repair... we don't talk anymore, all because of this. I scan the marketplace here everyday looking for a bumper in DG but haven't seen a sedan option yet.

Thanks for all the help guys, also, it being a coupe bumper would explain why the clear corners I bought didn't fit. Before I go blow another $30 on another set for a coupe, I'm assuming that is all I have to do, buy a coupe set of corners? They'd make it look a little better for now... at least
