You are going to have to take it to a custom shop that does body work.. Just keep in mind that the Styrofoam that is on the OEM bumper has to be removed or shaved down, this will allow the INVEN to fit.

Not a 100% sure, but in order to get that front bumper to fit you will have to shave it down. I removed mine to get it to fit correctly, but if the shop u get to do it, has the time to keep test fitting it.. u won't have to remove it. It's going to be a pain..

What about fitting the under covers and wheel well covers to the new front bumper? Any issues with fitment or whats involved with custom fitment of those?

Wheel well cover just tuck inside the bumper and the engine cover mounts to the bottom of the front bumper..

the fender liner doesn't bolt onto the bumper. it bolts onto a bracket attached to the body.
