Show him the tabs you had to cut off. There's one on each side of each bumper; they're where the bumper cover hooked onto. Also the front lip of the channel where the front trunk seal goes is taller, you need to deal with that (cut it or remove/replace it).
The reinforcements for the bumper mounts should already be present in the front fenders; not sure about the rear trunk. The rear bumper mounting bolts have the upper two in the trunk, and the lower two below the trunk floor. --DD |
