Threads merged since we might as well keep your posts in your existing thread, you new question has nothing to do with your bumper but more to do with your prep

Even with OEM bodyparts, smart people test fit before paint.

I had a Shine V2, now a OEM V3 and honestly aside from the Shine being fiberglass, quality was equal. I suggest shaving the emblem and hood lines.
