Nice bumper fit


Tim really put alot of thought into trying to fix this, but it just isnt gonna work well. Put this issue together with the other problems with the panel.... the fit over the wheelwell is tweaked and warped, and there is a bulge too...plus the top part is lower than the pass side so the spoiler isnt symmetrical....... and the only choice is to cut it all off and start again. Plus the way Chris did the install, the panel isnt gonna come off easy. He did alot of hideous seam welds rather than plug welds etc. Its far from a decent OEM install. Tim is dreading having to do it, but it has to be done.

Man that sucks.

I hope that opening that quarter panel doesn't open another can of worms.
Like around the wheel well area.

Thats exactly what has got me freaked out.... the wheelwell to quarter panel is a hack job. Take the quarter off and who knows what will need to be done to get the outer wheelwell fixed enough to attach to the quarter....not good.

Well a shout out needs to go to all the vendors that have helped you with parts to repair the mess.
Unfortunately your have eat up your budget with paying for labor twice.

The good thing is your car is in good hands now. The talent that these guys have for the money is unprecedented.
