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.

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.

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...

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.
