Bumper went to a different body shop yesterday. First review, they didn't think too highly of the work done by the other guy, and well, neither did I. I should hopefully have it back by Friday and on the car by the weekend. I just want to make sure the paint is cured well, before installing. If that means waiting until Monday, then that's when it shall be reinstalled.

 

Great to have someone compitent working on ur bumper.

 

Yes, I am feeling better now that the bumper will be finished correctly.

 

OK guys, here is some pics if anyone cares. I know Chris was asking for some.

Initial Fitment:




THE DREADED PROBLEM! As you can see it is wayy off.




COMPLETED PICS:

 

May I ask how they shortened the lip? The work is really clean, they did a great job.

 

ill whip up a pic showing you which section they hacked out.

 

That's pretty amazing how they did that with the plastic weld. The first guy that was working on my bumper said he would plastic weld, then came up with a billion excuses (on top of his other trillion excuses) why it was a bad idea.

Good to see, and know for the future, that the plastic welding process is successful.

 

definately, the only way you would know it is modified is by looking on the backside of the piece.

 

thats looks amazing

 

Well thank you if thats directed to me

 

I like your color, its sharp looking. whats it called?

 

victory red. i like the sport red better tho, wanna trade? haha

 

haha NO im happy with mine haha. it treats me well. i also like the dark one in the beginning of the thread. i wish you could swap colors like you do tires. eh, im tired of red, goin to black, or silver or something. lets invent that ****.

 

that would be cool, lemme know when you figure it out.

 

would i have to get it shortened for my g5 too?
how much has it costed everyone to get theres shortened and welded?

 

If you use the stock bumper yes. Since you are a g5, you cant really get the s/c bumper so you will have to get it shorened. The guy at the body shop i took it to told him it took him about 4 to 5 hours to do the shortening, so whatever they charge for an hour of labour at the shop you go to times it by 4 or five...

 

where are yall buying the lip from?

 

where can i get this lip and would a body shop be able to to install it easier

 

very nice!!

 

I got mine from gm. I saw there was a used one up for sale recently

 

Haven't posted here in a while, but here a couple of newer pics, waxed and buffed the paint on the bumper to make it all nice and shiny.

 

looks good! did you get it re-done? I know you were complaining about the previous quality of the work.

 

where can i get the clips for this?

 

dealership or online, the cheapest i found them was $4 / clip, and you need 14 clips for the rear / 12 for the front i believe. You can find all the info by searching through the thread and omgshesaboy's how to.

 

would the rear lip fit on a ss/tc sedan?
