you need to use longer screws on the holes that dont line up. mine were so far off i couldnt use any of the hardware they sent. i have about 5 screws holding it on right now lol it still looks good for the price

Here you go I got mine when they were still $125 shipped.

I wont be able to test fit mine for a few more months.

Even if the holes are off, I am pretty confident I can bore out the holes in the bumper and add a large washer to get it to fit.

So, here's my thought: When they were selling them for $125 shipped, that was all one batch of parts confirmed to have OK fitment. This new batch though that some of us bought from, they may just be a bad batch with terrible fitment. So, I'm going to wait until someone who bought from this recent batch test fit theirs and put up photos, we may all need to return these if the fitment is that far off.

the problem with sending them back is the shipping. even though its light, the size of the box makes it $40 to ship! if the seller doesnt want to work with everyone, then ALL of us should slam him with negative feedback and file it with paypal. none of us are expecting a perfect cheap lip, but if it doesnt even bolt on and extend all the way to the ends of the bumpers, its useless.

I agree 100%, I'm hoping the one that didn't fit was an isolated case and not what we'll all see if we try to test fit this. If we get two confirmed cases of no fitment though, I'm just going to file a paypal complaint to get my money back.

Mine fit ok, no serious problems.

I had to enlarge some of the holes on the bumper, but only like 2 or 3.

This is an aftermarket product,keep that in mind. It's not going to fit like an OEM part, guys.

Oh and the paint that was on there did suck, but my car is white. I sanded down the paint, the rattle canned it white. It looks good, but I have to touch up areas.

When did you buy yours, when they cost like $100 shipped or the more recent $150'ish? If you got yours in the past couple days (as in same batch as mine and the guy that says his won't fit) then that's excellent news, I don't care if I have to enlarge some of the holes. So, which batch was yours?
