Front Bumper Fix....errr...Attempt...

Well my painters messed up pretty bad fixing my bumper and it was covering the bottom of the left side headlight and I am fed up with it. they are to hard to get a hold of to fix it. so I decided to try it myself. and I am surprised with the outcome. lol.

Start: notice the hump below the pass. headlight?


After heating.. Had to find something to hold it down for a bit....



Comparing: Passenger


Driver:


Full Front:


I am sorta happy with the outcome, it looks better at least

I had to fix mine tonight after the bracket for my intake broke. However I'm rather pissed because the headlight scratched the front bumper up nicely to the primer.

Wasn't there a bulletin posted for it? Something about the passenger side mounting bracket was mounted too high?
