It doesn't look to bad to me. It just needs to be fitted a little.

Yeah, that doesn't look bad.. Even genuine kits need some fittings.. A little tug here and pull there will take care of the tabs being short. As long as the bumper isn't warped and has lots of wrinkles on the flat surfaces, it's considered pretty good...

I understand that FRP bodykits need a little/a lot work, but we had three guys trying to hold and fit this bumper into place to the point of almost breaking it.

The edges need to be trimmed with a small grinder. It looks like it is kicking it out and keeping it from fitting flush. It is hard to say without being there to see it.

Is the foam bumper still in?

wish I had a program to draw on the pics. But seems the bumper needs to be moved in (toward the car) about 2" then the tabs and top will line up but if that happens the sides were the bumper meets the quarter panal will be pushed to far forward.

I'd have to see it in person. I can't imagine it being that far off man. I mean from the pics it's not even close. Even cheapy kits aren't that bad.

If the bumper could just be moved in 2" everything would line up on the back but the edge in the fender wells would be to far forward by 2"

F that, I don't care if I only paid $20 for a rear bumper waiting for over a year for this there is no excuse. And the only part of the kit I'm getting is the rear FTW!
