Yeah I know where that is. I think my girlfriend is going ot buy me a Aerosync front bumper soon or so I hope. Unsure on what I want for sides and rear at the moment. Tired of people seeing the nice wheels and TT, then looking around and seeing the scratches on the paint lol.

Well unfortunately we don't have a large Asian population to choose from in this area. Will definitely keep you updated though.

the parking lot dudes booted one car, and he didnt pay for parking, so he had what was coming to him. The varisty like us being there, they told the cops we were always welcome, that they could patrol for ricers doing dumbshit, keep the homeless out, but otherwise leave us the **** alone. It seems to work so far. Its kinda a rice feast, but there are some nice cars there once in a while

That looks like the wrong lip. I have never seen an authentic Veilside lip fit that bad, EVER. Are you sure? Where is the Veilside badge that is on the carbon lips? Why wouldnt you call the shop you bought it from? If it is warped, why wouldnt you get it fixed?

I had the carbon Veilside lip about a year ago on my 05 and my fitment was perfect, also look at everybody else, VO, etc all have the carbon lip perfect.

There is no ****ing reason to live with your car looking like a piece of ****?

the badge is only on, if you stick it on, and i just put it on 5 mins ago, its veilside, it came in a veilside box, says veilside on the inside of the lip. I emailed Intensepower, nebar got a email back, besides i didnt know how bad the fit was till i got it today. I knew it was a form fit, so i couldnt mess with it to much, thats what the shop was for.

you think 2 months is long enough? Once again (it seems i have to brow beat it) It didnt know how far off it was till today. It wasnt like i was gonna pull my bumper off and fold the **** outta it, causing more damage than it already had, trying to jam it to fit. It looked close when i first got it, and i new it would form fit, i just didnt know it would be that far off.

And i suppose no one has ever bought a pair of pants without really trying them on, only to find they dont quiet fit right.

As i said, i already sent pics today of it, and am waiting to see whats-what

I apologize, I didnt mean to sound that way, I just feel bad that you purchased an Authentic part and it doesnt perform the way it should. Intense Power is a great shop...ONLY if you speak with Darren or Han. The others just push product, hence the PowerLab dick riders. I would call Darren personally because he will take care of you.

You should try take a heat gun to the lip. Maybe it will heatshrink onto the bumper.
