The body shop said there is no reason for the bumper mold to be so incomplete! It was very time consuming because of it.

I think it's more work then it should be. With the time and money u put into installation, your better off buying another bumper that's already fitted to the car. If your gonna sell a bumper for 800 dollars, at least have it ready to install, all the buyer should do is get it painted. I'm just saying

I agree. This was supposed to be a Mothers Day gift for my wife. It has turned into more frustration than anything else. Next year she gets a vacuum. At least I will know why she's upset.

Feedback is much appreciated. The more we get, the better this bumper will get in the future. Without it, we are sort of left in the dark. What in your view or your bodyshops' view is incomplete on the bumper?

My body shop thought that the bumper came from a good mold however there were certain things that were missing or in properly fitted. For example all of the brackets that line up with the bumper were off so he had to redo all the brackets on the bumper. He also felt that it should be nothing for Rideskinz to make a Chevy template of the holes, the bracket the tabs that snap into the upper grill and spacing for the lights, Put it on the mold and make sure everything fits properly to Chevy specs. In addition to redoing the brackets he had to shave most of the tabs for the upper grill so it could fit properly. He also could not do anything with the spacing between the headlights and the bumper because there was not enough material to shave it down and make it smooth. He also thought the bumper should never be folded. It took a very long time to get the bumper back to its original state. The bumper looks good but a lot of work has to go into it just to get it to fit.
