What do you do when the carbon fiber bumper that you were painting anyhow doesn't quite fit as you need it to? Slice and dice it then fit it until it does!

This is what pisses me off about carbon fiber. It's pretty. but costs an arm and a leg and it doesn't fit. A lot aftermarket parts may not, but they aren't as expensive as carbon fiber either. LOL!!
