I bought a new bumper painted and delivered from ebay. It seems the whole bumper was kind of curled up, and needed to be bent ALOT to fit it's mounting points. Look at pic 4 from the top, you can see the middle of the bumper where the airdam attaches underneath is curled up too. Maybe this is normal, I dont know, as this is the first time I've replaced a bumper cover. The rear bumper came out ok, since it has sufficient attachment points to bend it out enough.
But on the front, as some already knows, there is no support underneath the headlights, and then I got this result, which totally sucks! Of course, I bought the bumper last July, and didnt get around to mount it until yesterday, hence the 30 day return policy is not an option. Guess I'm stuck with this, and must make the best of it. I did send them an inquiry though, but I dont have high hopes of anything.
Question: Do anyone have any experience heating a bumper with say a heatgun? Would that hurt the paint? Any suggestions?
Short of fabricating a real support brace underneath, I'm lost for what to do about it. Unfortunatly I don't own a welder.
